Votes for DeLaSalle are votes for patronage, special interests and

the greater public good is done by keeping the park land available to

lapses in the process arriving at such a decision.
I have no strong interest in this issue either way, but I want to
challenge you on this statement.
Given that the field will be available for public use, why is open
park space more in the public intrest than a sports field? Why is
it in the interest of the majority of city residents for the land
to be left as is vs. putting facilities there that can benefit the
public in other ways?
What's _your_ interest in keeping the land as open space?
