GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Grand Island has received nearly 50 claims from people who say their vehicles got unwanted paint jobs from city maintenance workers.

Street superintendent Shannon Callahan says the problem arose as workers spruced up the Eddy Street underpass for Saturday’s Harvest of Harmony Parade. Callahan says the workers had blocked off a lane so spray equipment could be used to give metal railings a coat of silver paint, but a wind arose and spread some of the paint onto passing vehicles and parked cars nearby.

As of Monday morning, the city had received 46 claims totaling nearly $13,000.

Callahan says the workers are using paint brushes to finish the job.
