Paul, I am not saying a free ride. Rather, a concession rate. This would recognize the uniqueness of Park Board and its importance to people.

Paul, your conclusion doesn’t follow your reasoning. Because they’re elected, they shouldn’t have to cut as much? I don’t see the connection. They are accountable to the public, yes. That just means that any decision they make, whether it’s initiating a new program or cutting funding to a current program, should be made publicly (barring privacy matters, of course). That doesn’t give them a free ride, though.

Jasper has got to be the dumbest politician around– opposing on his own collegues and party will get him dumped faster then he can whine about unfair treatment–someone should remind aaron how party politics work namely people vote for a party not him–he’s a nobody. I’m predicting jasper’s will end up in the political junk heap before too long and it will be the vision powers that be firing the gun.
