INC Believes Mayor Is Way Wide Of The Mark On Parks

The following article was written by the Inter-Neighborhood Parks and Recreation Committee as a response to an article written by Mayor Michael B Hancock which appeared in the March issue as “Representative View, Parks Necessary To Our Neighborhood and Spirit” 

The following response appears in the April 2014 issue

represenative.view

In response to A Representative View by Mayor Michael Hancock (Profile,

value of parks as a “recreational, inspirational and essential respite from the
hustle and bustle of city life.”
However, it’s not a question of the importance of parks to the city and its
citizens.
