Ordinance proposed for Salina could curb city powers in emergencies

A group called Salina Freedom wants to stop the City of Salina from enacting ordinances in emergencies. “It’s just insane,” said former Salina city commissioner Abner Perney. “It makes no sense whatsoever and it’s potentially very dangerous.” A measure on the ballot for the City of Salina is up for a public vote. A sample ballot in Salina says “This ordinance prevents the City of Salina from enacting any ordinance in response to a public emergency that imposes restrictions on businesses or citizens, leaving that responsibility to the county and subject to the Kansas Emergency Management Act.”
