WE PLAN TO HAVE PROTEST SIGNS AVAILABLE ALSO.

It has come to our attention that the City Attorney of Englewood has quoted our case as proof that parks can be transferred administratively without a vote of the people. Already we can see that what happens in the Friends of Denver Parks case will likely be established as case law. According to park advocate Laurette Barrentino, the City of Englewood has land grabbed a park, a prime property on the light rail, and sold it at a bargain to a friend of a City Councilman.
