The Saline Police Department is investigating the attempted theft of a chainsaw from Ace Hardware. Anyone recognizing the suspect pictured above, or the Jeep that picked him up, is asked contact Sgt. Andy Hartwig at ahartwig@cityofsaline.org or 734-429-7911.
According to Sgt. Hartwig, a suspect moved a chainsaw from its original location to a place near the exit. He left the building several times to smoke cigarettes before leaving without the chainsaw and being picked up in the Red Jeep.
Sgt. Hartwig said though nothing was stolen the Saline Police Department treats preparing to steal as seriously as it treats theft.
Sunny, with a high of 69 and low of 49 degrees. Sunny during the morning, overcast during the afternoon and evening, clear 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.
