re: City Park Championship Golf Course- Somme oppose it

English Turn was already there, then they used taxpayer funds to build TPC and tear up wetlands in the process -- dangling the idea that building it would bring major tournament here. Isn't TPC a net money loser and requires continuing subsidies?

City Park CEO is correct, though: This plan has been in the works for years. The grungy faces on the video tell me that many of the protesters are Johnny-come-latelys to the city who didn't know what was there before.

I understand the need for revenue to run the park, but that being said, CEO Bob Becker is a Ron Forman-wannabe in the making (and the massive salary that goes along with it). He has done some good things, but he's also paved over and made huge chunks of the park "pay to play" -- or even to enter. A kid cant even kick a ball on a soccer field without being molested by a City Park cop and shooed away. Becker is the A-hole who wanted to build a film studio in the park.

Why not build a water park there, if you're going to keep paving over everything? Or something more of the mass public would gladly pay to use?
