That was the kind of information the mother of four sought out in her work as a member of Communities Organized for Public Service, the grass-roots organization that for more than 30 years has been challenging politicians to bring changes to marginalized parts of the city.
Salinas died at home Wednesday of what her family believes was a stroke. She was 87.
