What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and participation in their special programs . . . . and much, much more that the Center offers the community, it is high time City Council prioritizes, at minimum, maintenance at the facility if Saline is to continue to be a desirability and competitive community in the area.

Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.

The city hiring process doesn't pass the sniff test. The schools have issues too. This is looking systemic.

What is going on at city hall? Like the schools, we need independent investigations to reveal the facts and the truths and a review of the activities being conducted publicly and behind closed door. Impropriety seems to be real but we won’t know without an independent investigation.

Correction: “Tremblay DOES NOT know Rice. Rice simply knows of Tremblay and the incredible work he’s done in service to his country.” My husband served with him more than 10 years ago.
