By Bill Connell, Somerset.
The catalyst of this letter is that I did not think the Franklin Reporter & Advocate’s Editor’s letter regarding parks reflected the wisdom I know he has.
First off though, the park meeting was awesome. It had lots of respectful participation, and even a petition. This is good work. There were a few times a speaker thought they were making a good point but in fact, were revealing their lack of understanding how government works. There are parameters on how to spend money to protect against misuse. Let’s be honest though, none of speakers really cared about the technical details, they just didn’t want the park built and were hurling whatever would stick. This made it difficult to sort out what were the real flaws in the park plan and what was “not in my backyard”
