Greetings,

From the May 18 Board Meeting: "WDSRA's Rec & Roll a Huge Hit at Ackerman"

The Glen Ellyn Park Bench

Enjoy.

Atleast someone is asking some questions:

"During Matters from Commissioners Commissioner Melissa Creech inquired if there was a cost to produce a video for submission as a Gold Medal nominee for the National Park & Recreation award. Director Atwell stated the cost would be approximately $5,000. Commissioner Creech complained about the cost associated with the video. Director Atwell responded they have been approached by members of the community to help financially sponsor the video. Commissioner Jay Kinzler wanted to know why anyone would want to sponsor the Glen Ellyn Park District."

Personally, I enjoy these write-ups from Park Bench. The obvious anti-Creech, Kinzler and Nephew slant is quite humorous at times.

The best part is how Park Bench goes out of her way to portray the 3 new commissioners in a negative light, only to have it completely backfire. Example - the most recent report, above. I am thrilled that somebody is asking why we'd spend $5,000 for this video! I applaud the 3 new commissioners for asking tough questions. Park Bench's slanted reports only serve to highlite the positive things they are doing.

By all means, please keep writing GEPB.
