I'm on record, I could care less how you intend to vote! This gives me motivation to vote Mike Rodgers for US SENATE....as for govenor I'll vote John James. As for the Muslim taking over the democrat party no surprises there at all they are totaly lost. My prediction is Stevens will beat the Muslim.
How do you feel about Dr Oz then?
I’ll be on the record then of stating that you publicly announced that you’re a racist bigot. No idea why you chose to out yourself here but hey, you do you.
Libby are you hiding you true feelings? If I'm a racist your a BIGOT!
Not ionterested in your liberal BS.
Doctor Oz well of course he is a WIZARD , he may make you disappear. Don't forget to VOTE Libby, today is the day. Rodgers loves your choice FYI, he is the next SENATOR from MICHIGAN .
Hard pass on summerfest. BOYCOTT.
They also sponsor Salty summer sounds. What a shame this all has become
I have to admit, I was surprised to learn that missionary schools are still considered an appropriate model in 2026.
I’d love to comment. Too bad it doesn’t matter.
So much for a “close loop system”.
Our elected officials, local, county and state have failed us.
Thanks to our friends at the saline chamber and saline Main Street. For allowing this and letting these criminals sponsor downtown events
The "Sinking" fund that never sinks. The "CARES" fund that is just school tax in disguise.
Seems to me that the CARES Fund ignores the Recreation Center? Why? When the Fund was created in 1999 it included the Rec.Center? Everyone who attends Saline Schools and their neighbors all get discounted Memberships but pay no tax dollars to support it? That feels wrong to me.
Hey there Dave. I just want to provide some clarifying information. I wrote a letter of support to the Cares committee a little over a year ago on behalf of a grant application submitted by Saline Rec Center. The grant was approved.
