One piece of cake down, one tough cookie to go.
The League of Women Voters, which is seeking to put together a
bilateral task force to study the value of city-county consolidation,
asked the Salina City Commission for its blessing at a Monday study
session.
The five-member commission gave unanimous support, which became
apparent when the idioms started flying about 15 minutes into the
meeting.
"You're preaching to the choir," Commissioner John Vanier told
the four members of the League who made the request. "It takes two to
dance, and the girl we want to take to the dance doesn't want to go
with us."
"We were invited to this concert, and we haven't been invited
to the other one yet," League president Gina McDonald said, "but we're
working on it."
The, uh, girl, who, uh, hasn't invited the League of Women Voters to the concert would be the Saline County Commission.
For more on what the city
commission, the League and county Commissioner Craig Stephenson had to
say about consolidation, read reporter Darrin Stineman's story in
Tuesday's Salina Journal.
