[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this week's Northwest Current is a report on legislation moving through Congress which could facilitate a Ward 3 pool on National Park Service land at Fort Reno, which would be larger than what needs to fit at Hearst Park.

This could be a definite win-win.

Or we could keep moving forward with the plans for a pool at Hearst which would also be a win-win - an actual certain win-win instead of maybe it will somehow work out to put the pool on Federal land and maybe we'll get the pool in 5 or 10 years instead of two.

Like everything else the opponents have come up with it is a misleading and inaccurate letter though at least it acknowledges that none of the legacy oak trees will be lost which is the favorite lie of the immediate neighbors.

So Ward 3 should not get a pool because money should not be spent in Ward 3 in an election year?  Huh?  The Ward 3 Councilmember is up for re-election and getting a pool in her Ward will be a big boost for her popularity.

And no one cares about a 6 million expenditure in a city with a 10 billion dollar annual budget.

Money that was budgeted years ago.

And we shouldn't get a pool because it requires an elevator to be ADA compliant?  I think that means the entire park is not ADA compliant so maybe it should be locked up!

And I love the line about the "Hearst Community" being opposed to the pool.  No the "Hearst Community" is not opposed to the pool - the immediate neighbors are.

And what are the serious environmental drawbacks and how is it not economical or practical?

Coming up with a bunch of non-sense and getting it published in the NW Current does not make it rational, reasonable or true.  It is just a bunch of non-sense.

Next please.[/quote]
