I don't know the details of things either, nor the planning, bidding, anything. But what i'm reading is that some of us forget what's it's like to be kids, and maybe that's a big problem in our country. The kids that I saw there could care less about $$$. It was hot, they were splashing around, and it looked like they were having fun. I wanted to join them. Could it have been built cheaper? I dunno. Could've it been built better? I dunno. I beginning to see why people are moving away from NJ. It's all about money and greed. We are losing our human side, the ability to have fun and appreciate aesthetic things, and way out of touch with our youth. Sad.
