I can certainly attest that from what I've seen, the FOCP board was as
surprised (actually probably more so) as you regarding the recent use
of roundup.
Given that the contractors are hired by the city, through the Park
Dept., it's unsurprising that the FOCP wasn't aware of it.
Darco,
Here is what Tony West said about the contractors on 9/29/09 in a
response to one of my previous reports of chemicals used in Clark Park.
There seems to be a serious contradiction about hiring the contractors!
Are you correct or is Tony West correct?
People will wonder why there is so much confusion over such a simple
question about who hires the contractors!
"...The guys who were hired are Moon Site Management. They are the
reason the trash is removed twice a week rather than once a week during
the peak season. They are the reason the grass in the park is mown more
than once every 2 months in the peak season. And they are the sole
reason the grass gets any maintenance at all; your tax dollars purchase
ZERO lawn care ever, for our neighborhood's most cherished and most
heavily used and abused lawn..."
Darco, are you claiming that the Parks department has actually hired
these contractors since the beginning of the "Party for the Park" and
the plot to redesign?? If these companies were hired by the city, as
you say; they may be compelled to allow us to investigate their work
orders so that we can determine what chemicals were used in Clark Park!
We have a right to request government documentation according to the PA
right to know law! Of course, special service districts and insular
civic associations never allow accountability or review of their records.
Wow, I'm really excited to learn who has hired these mysterious
contractors of the past decade!
If the Party for the Park does not fund the outside maintenance
contractors, however; can your sources disclose the use of the Party for
the Park money ??? I'm sure when you discover the truth, you will see
why people are concerned about what chemicals they've been exposed to
over the years since the first corporate "Party for the Park"
Thanks,
Glenn
PS: Your comments have matured greatly since our last communications!
Darco, I was extremely disappointed that you'd chosen the FOCP tactics.
