Space shuttle poll questioned amid local debate
The Telegram and KIA S poll on locating a space shuttle station near Garden City drew letters challenging its validity as a straw poll. Readers note flaws, but the survey asked simply if the site northeast of Garden City should host the facility. Nearly 400 respondents voiced a tentative stance, while undecided voters wanted a ballot option. Also reported: two longtime Agriculture Extension Council members, Al Maddux and Rodney Faulds, will leave their posts. Maddux heads to a Garden City Co op facility, and Faulds moves to Farmland Fouts Ang.
