Subject of pool tiring, old one can be fixed
I would like to address the pool situation. I am tired of hearing about this situation as I am sure a lot of other people are too. There is no reason the old pool can’t be repaired, at least until the economy is better. Do not punish the kids of this city and county because the people simply can’t afford to build a new facility at the present time.
There are a lot more important things in life than having a multi-million dollar pool facility. What about food on the tables? Clothes for our children to wear to school? Roofs over their heads? So many people are out of jobs now.
If the committee will just give this town some time to get more work for the people and get the economy back on flow, then the people might consider voting for a new pool and other things. At the present time the committee is acting like a bunch of children who did not get the toy they wished for at Christmas. They are all adults and I don’t know where their first priorities are.
If there were a new pool, who could afford to go to it without a job? The use of the pool is not going to be free of charge therefore, people will have to have some income in order to use it.
I am simply suggesting they repair the old one for awhile. If it is not repaired, I am sure Rock Island State Park would be glad to accommodate these people for all their swimming and other activities.
Sincerely,
