zip code approach works

Detailing the numbers of participants in the 33166 zip code addresses the area of concern and avoids any possible privacy isues. Great idea! How can ANYBODY object to that? The Gazette has been a lapdog and cheerleader for City Hall for years, practically since its inception. the City throws a lot of advertising business their way and they arent about to bite the hand that feeds it. When you go to lift weights you have to sign in. When you swim at the UM you have to sign in. When you request an FOI you have to sign in. when you go to zoning you have to sign in. its a way for management to document that they are providing services, and more importantly, services to the residents that pay their salary. is there ANY posible reason why a roster of names would NOT be provided to interested parties, especially residents whose taxes are paying for the pool? Somehow THAT is top secret information, while all the other city functions its just a matter of course and good business principles and practices? It may be moot anyway, as the zip code approach alleviates those concerns.
