Friends of Clark Park is in perfect accord with Glenn Moyer on this
issue. We too oppose duck boats in Clark Park.

Neighbors,
If you care about public spaces across the city and our right to participate in
decisions about the future of these, contact the DN now and ask for a real
investigation of the Clark Park Partnership by real investigative journalists!
The secret deals for the new duck boats (link below) have raised the issue of
transparency on decisons about spaces which belong to all of us. (I've heard
that the insider gang from the planning commission and Parks and Recreation are
involved with the duck boat shenanigans. We know their goals and methods!)
Let's not allow the privatization of Clark Park to metastasize to all public
spaces as our rulers plan. The Clark Park Partnership was the pilot project and
serves as the model for subverting public participation through the creation of
such entities.
If journalists expose the secret dealings and the exclusion of the public
developing over the last 8 years around Clark Park; we, the people can fight
back! The entire city needs to know what happened to Clark Park and they need
to understand that all public spaces are targeted!
Please make any contacts you have with journalists, (not the yellow kind), and
tell them that the Clark Park Partnership is the model for destroying the
rights of the public on all matters relating to public space. Feel free to
send them my contact information because I have followed the privatization
through the entire process! Chances to fight back are growing fewer and
farther apart!
