We certainly HOPE that what goes around, comes around. Those who fabricate and mislead people should be exposed, no doubt, and that is what is being done here. If there is any erroneous information here, it needs to be corrected with facts and figures and would be considered a public service to do so- just as the information provided here has been done with that same intent. What does the Code of Ordinances say about handshake deals? How has the fire-sale prices to encourage Springs residents to join the swim team worked out so far? If it has been a smashing success and there are verifiable numbers to document that phenomena, GREAT! Lets see the numbers and documentation for the past three years (to account for seasonality). Or is this an open-ended, secret marketing approach that nobody knows about, has no end, and answers to NOBODY? When was the Council made aware of this stupendous marketing move? and when did they approve it? Did they approve it in perpetuity? With NO conditions or discussions? Was the Council concerned that the $200 a month was a mere FRACTION of its actual worth and probably only benefitted the private swim team owners? It is agreed that slander, libel, and personal attacks have no place in this public forum as they do not address the issues or move the discussion forward toward a rational resolution. Factual statements that can be and are documented DO have a place here, however, and will continue to be encouraged. This can be, and most of the time IS, and exercise in American democracy, where the people can go to have their voices heard.
