Anyone know the details? Some sort of falling out?
I will be the first to admit, I have not been to city council meetings this year to address the playgrounds. It just doesn't seem to be a productive thing to do. I would however be willing to band together with other concerned citizens and try to fix these playgrounds. If you are interested let...
