Dangerous trees in many parks

We have phony park advocates petitioning for funding for tweeding programs via public private partnerships instead of demanding adequate funding in the city Parks budget, and we're surprised this is happening?

Just think of the hue and cry if one of the said branches came crashing down on the smoking gamblers at the illegal picnic tables? Lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits...

Hey, maybe Vallone should campaign there and hand out business cards.; Wednesday, August 07, 2013

Its a big gap. Oh, but its OK, Prospect and Central get their own private funding, so therefore no parks need city funds.; Wednesday, August 07, 2013
