Cost was the issue two years ago when the project was presented, introduced, approved and built. The time to raise questions on the expenditure was then. Now the city will gear up to open the recreation area for the second year -- or is it the third? How many bites at the "it cost too much" apple does Jerry's white woman get?
No, the issue today is not cost. rather the issue is the clear disconnect and outright hostility that was displayed by some people in the audience. Jerry's white woman said anyone can use the beach therefore the recreation area -- which by the way is a lot more than just "four hoses in the ground" -- isn't needed. She implies that everyone in the city should walk to their recreation -- a distance that could be up to one mile. I ask you, who among us is willing to walk a mile for anything? Jerry's white woman makes no consideration for the fact that to many in our community the cost to enter the beach is money they don't have. Yahoo!
