I incorrectly made reference "People for Parks" below. It is the front group 'People for Independent Parks' that supports sloppy governance.
People for Parks is a worthy fundraising organization founded by caring citizens to raise money for our parks. The group nearly disbanded because of the obstacles they faced working with the MPRB leadership. They appear to be waiting for an extreme makeover on the Board so they can resume their efforts.
