Mayor Marl speaks at the Saline Area Senior Center Grand Reopening.
Mayor Brian Marl will be hosting his annual senior conference Friday, August 14, at the Saline Area Senior Center.
“As the adage goes – time flies. I can hardly believe this will be my 13th Saline Senior Conference,” said Mayor Brian Marl. “I’m confident that this will be another outstanding event – with good food, valuable information, robust conversation and plenty of time for socializing and visiting with good friends.”
Andrea Lewis, SASS Program Coordinator added, “SASS is looking forward to once again hosting Mayor Marl's Annual Senior Conference. Each year those in attendance receive helpful information and important civic updates, have the opportunity to socialize with their peers and interact with community leaders. We anticipate another great turnout for this event."
Complimentary breakfast, lunch and door prizes will be provided. Following breakfast, attendees will participate in three separate breakout sessions. Later in the day, a government panel will discuss issues pertinent to Saline-area senior citizens.
All seniors, regardless of residency, are invited to attend this free event. You do not need to be a member of the Saline Area Senior Center to participate.
While the event is free, RSVPs are required as capacity is limited. To RSVP, or for more information, please contact the Saline Senior Center at (734) 429-9274.

Friday, August 14
8:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Program will begin a little after 9 a.m.

I’m curious as to why Mr. Marl has announced his reelection intentions, started campaigning and collecting funds, but has not done the paperwork to put his name on the ballot yet?

Citizens of Saline are finally waking up to all the failures of our current city government. Girbach is bailing (for good reason). Rice can’t stand the heat in the kitchen. So maybe, just maybe we can drain the dysfunctional swamp at Saline City Hall but foremost, it’s long overdue for Marl to go! VOTE FOR McVey

Girbach finally leaving is a very good start. As we have observed over time, what we have seen is prioritization of personal views and biases and unsupported negative public statements and innuendo, at times implying malfeasance without support, time and time again. Marl is passionate about the City, very active and involved, and does not play these games. Where Girbach is criticism and negativism at all turns (without much by way of positive solutions to back it up and move forward), Marl is positive and solution oriented. Do not always agree with him but do appreciate the approach. That's the way we see it.

Marl is a self serving career politician. Time for him to step aside. That’s the way WE see it!

Thanks for sharing. Would you be interested in sharing some facts that actually support that assertion?

In another Saline Post article Girbach identifies his on-going lawsuit over land his family owns as the primary reason for resigning. He later notes that (paraphrase/interpretation) his views on governance are inconsistent with the rest of Council, per usual throwing some insults and demeaning others along the way. Observationally, would say THAT is his usual governance style and yes, cannot say we have seen other Council members fueling (initiating) unfounded rumors. Do believe he thinks he has been the sole voice doing the right thing and perhaps that is the saddest part of it all. Finally, if his style is out of step with the rest of Council who were elected by Saline residents, the logical conclusion is that what he has been doing is not what Saline residents are looking for.
