IMHO this division between city-wide and district commissioners illustrates the need for some structural changes in the park board. Perhaps the city-wide commissioners should constitute a majority of the board, to prevent parochial interests from log-rolling their way to control of the board. We could simply reduce the park board from 9 members to 5, with 3 at-large members, one north side district member, and one south side district member.
Without some reform, continuation of these antics puts the independence of the park board at risk.
