[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then cut the budget and increase DPR staffing levels.  Most of us would agree that better hours for rec centers is a good thing.  However, an unfunded mandate from the same drunken sailors that throw wasteful sums of money on their pet projects is the worst of all worlds and will lead to unintended consequences.  It's emblematic of what a joke our lazy council and political class is.

It’s weird that the rec centers are open on days/times when utilization is light (like Monday mornings) but closed when many people are free for recreation (Sundays). [/quote]

A lot of things in DC seem to be run more like jobs programs than actually meeting their intended purpose.[/quote]

It is indeed weird.  It reeks of clientelism and corruption.  Hopefully, as we move forward, the DC government can focus more on serving its citizens rather than them serving the staff.

I heard that Baltimore kept its rec centers open when kids needed it and the crime rates dropped.[/quote]

Much of the DC government seems to exist solely for the benefit of the politicians who dole out the money and the people who receive the money. [/quote]
