Saline Main Street hosts the second annual Downtown Saline Trunk-Or-Treat event from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24.
35 businesses and organizations will throw open their trunks and hand out treats to costumed kids as they circle the parking lots beside Key Bank and behind Hartman Insurance.
Main Street is anticipating as many as 1,500 kids at this year's event. Last year's event drew far more people than anticipated. Organizers are expecting even more people this year and have been busy working on plans to accommodate the expected crowd.
Overcast, with a high of 72 and low of 62 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Overcast for the morning, patchy rain nearby during the afternoon, overcast during the evening, light rain shower overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
