Salina hit by large meth seizure and flooded market
Police chief Jim Hill calls Salina awash in meth after a three day drug sting yielded more than a pound of methamphetamine.

Joe Garman notes nine meth labs found in Saline County this year amid rising Midwest production.

The law requires immediate disclosure of caller identity and directs the Kansas Corporation Commission to draft consumer-avoidance notices within a year.
