I really don't care about this silly little issue other than the enjoyment of watching folks on both sides of the issues rant. I'm not going to use the pool either way and neither will most of the people ranting. I hope you folks put as much energy into worrying about our financially broke city, state, and fed as you do this issue.
To support children the pool requires frequent maintenance to remove the sand that fills the pool and blocks the drains. How about you children huggers step up and pay for it rather than expect my tax dollars to pay for it?
Sorry this issue cause some of you folks so much angst. The bigger issues in life must make you suicidal.
