The next Salina Chamber of Commerce’s annual
banquet will be a bipartisan affair.
The chamber announced Thursday former GOP U.S. House speaker
Newt Gingrich and former U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley, a Democrat, will
be the featured speakers at the group’s banquet next Feb. 11.
The chamber says each man will give a speech, then answer
questions together.
Chamber president and CEO Dennis Lauver says nearly 1,000
tickets were sold by the Thursday evening.
The banquet sold out earlier this year when Republican Sarah
Palin was the speaker.
