People love BREC parks. They don't know or care about surpluses, they just want the neighborhood park to stay clean and safe.

I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of EBR citizens have no idea that BREC has over $81 million stashed away in its various bank accounts yet is saying if today's tax proposals, which generate $23 million/year, are not renewed, BREC will have to shut down parks, lay off workers, blah, blah, blah.
It's a load of crap! BREC could operate for over 3 years from its bank accounts to replace the loss of the revenue from these renewals without affecting any of its parks.
But it's a moot point. The renewals will be overwhelmingly approved and BREC's bank accounts will continue to grow. (They increased by $10 million just in 2013.)
