In Liz Pike’s write-in campaign ads, one statement in particular had me going: “They both (Mike Dalesandro and Marc Boldt) want to take money from single mothers and hard-working parents every time they want to take their children to one of OUR parks!”
They are not our parks unless we pay for them. If we cut off funding for our parks, they will fall into disrepair. If the answer is to privatize them, then private interests will come in, gladly buy the assets and then charge a fee to recoup the investment. In that scenario, the parks will no longer be ours or free.
