I voted no - Until I have confidence the funds will be spent appropriately... why should you get more money?

They lose funds the courses and parks will suffer.
All good cities have good or great parks.

They own too many parks that are not utilized properly and are nothing but a maintenance cost. Want money? Sell those then get your books in order, prioritize your spending and update your buildings into this century. Then come ask the taxpayers for a millage.

They have over 100 million dollars in revenues coming in each year. 88 million is from our property taxes.

BREC had a lot of money, a large surplus, and they do a so so job of taking care of them. Golfers know this very well.

This. The number of shitty baseball fields they have is mindblowing. I guess you can call them baseball fields. They have the backstop/fence area.
