Bravo on pool editorial
Reference your “Editorial – Our Viewpoint” printed Friday, Feb. 22.
All I can say is, bravo, bravo, bravo!
I think just about everyone has been able to see through the hype and pretense and now realizes the real reason the pool is shutting down. The issue concerning the pool was never a “mission” for the benefit of the children or the city. Instead, as their behavior seems to indicate, it was something they wanted no matter what anyone said or did. The current pool was, and is, fixable. And, if repairs are done properly should last for many more years.
According to the article on page one, Friday, there are negotiations being made with McMinnville Country Club for the Red Cross swimming classes. The Country Club pool is older than the city pool so why is it not in the same “poor” condition as our Parks and Recreation Department people are wanting us to believe ours is in? Could the difference possibly be in the care and maintenance each has been given. Just a thought.
In any case, once again, bravo.
