Do we REALLY need PARKS?

I received an e-mail this morning about closing the Mason County Parks as a way to save money for the county. I find this very disturbing. It will essentially limit or end Little Leage in Mason County. I am opposed to closing the parks. If you agree with me please respond to the link provided and voice your opinion.

Please consider contacting your state elected representatives WITHIN THE NEXT THREE-FOUR DAYS and ask they support sections 16-17 of the House Finance Committee Amendment to 2SSB 5433!!!

Please take the time to share with our representatives. They will not know how we feel unless we tell them.

Perhaps the people that want to close the parks would let our rambunctious kids play in their backyards???

Is there anyone out there who doesn't have a childhood memory involving playing in a park? I have MANY.

I do not like the direction our cherished country is headed. People need to start speaking up more to their politicians. I do not like this at all. People need to turn off the T.V. and go to the internet for the truthful news and become more engaged in our country's politics before it is too late.

That's crazy....everything is out of control! We are cutting music and parks for our kids and expanding art and music for our prisoners.

To even suggest the closing of parks as a method of cost savings, is just as absurd as many of the other proposals that come from our legislators on both the state and federal level.

Hevan forbid that a politician should actually look at some thing that may save money. Dinah, closing parks solves nothing. They need to hold people accountable for their actions and not hurt those that actualy pay taxes.

Dinah Lee: Closing the parks is just a really dumb idea. And, if you think about it, it would be very easy for the kids to think that the adults don't care about them... or their needs. Great. Take them out of the parks and into the streets. They will be bored, so of course they'll come up with other things to do... and some of them will be some pretty bad ideas. What a dumb move. Thanks for sharing.

Dinah Lee, Typical politicians. When you have to cut spending always aim at what will get the public attention...
