Hendrick said the customers impacted by the Internet issue are across NexTech's geographic footprint. 

Saline County residents told Salina Post they were experiencing exceptionally long lines at the Saline County Vehicle Registration office. Saline County Treasurer Jim DuBois confirmed the internet is down. 

"We're just flat down. I came in at 7 a.m. this morning and couldn't log on," DuBois said. "I talked to IT, and they just said they're working on it."
