During a meeting of the Saline County, Kan. Commission last Tuesday, a discussion over whether to hire an architect to design repairs to local bridges turned heated. Commissioner Jim Gile argued that the county should hire an architect rather than "nigger-rigging it," a remark that prompted laughter from others in the room, according to the Salina Journal. When Gile was asked what he said, he replied, "Afro-Americanized."
"He's like that congressman from Alaska," Commission Chairman Randy Duncan said, referring to Rep. Don Young (R-AK).
