That publication is really more of an advocacy magazine for certain causes and one political viewpoint. I tried many times to provide the other side and honestly to defend mis-information and they really aren’t interested in presenting facts and truth, they just further the narrative they support.
advocating for the Mega MAC is not an issue that would be in keeping with the values of a Liberal left or a Proggessive Left POV. Liberals values do not include taking money from the poor to fund a luxury desire. If fact we activity fight against inequality.
Self interest gain is the only motive I can think of that would explain a lack of empathy towards low income families in our community.
The opposition to prop 1 has both strong liberal and conservative support.
Don is however trolling the Valley when he called the 78% of use who defeated the 2014 MPD proposition "paranoid" and his last editorial attack on members of this community.
Also consider Anne's article where she writes this, quote;
Quote
"Both sides agree that a vote for Proposition 1 is not a vote for a specific pool facility with a specific cost. Proponents see that as positive, allowing the aquatics district and community to determine the future design and cost of a new facility. Opponents see it as negative, asking voters to support a future facility that is not yet designed."
That statement supports the current "there is no plan" FOP narrative.
Opponents to prop 1 already know one of the goals of the FOP Metropolitan Park District, that prop 1 would create if passed, is to build a $20 to $30 million dollars in 2pool\spa facility.
How do we know?
Because that was the original FOP design on their webpage when they sent out the ballot petition and the plan that they sent to the county commissioners for their support on prop 1 if passed. The FOP even had an exact dollar amount estimate for the Mega MAC indoor 2 pool/spa facility.
Here is plan as summited to the county.
