"Schuylkill Park, Rittenhouse Square, and others that are verdant and clean get help from private sources, said Derek Freres, who is on the board of several park friends' groups. "Those parks all have extremely strong friends groups that are able to raise a lot of money for capital projects," he said."
Here is the expected park revenue crisis article. As most Philadelphia residents know, most parks and Recreation centers have been sabotaged for the past few years. Sabotage and a created crisis always precedes privatization. The above quote provides the key to understanding the new rental fees and dictatorial control coming for our parks. Yes, center city district and university city district are being redefined as Friends groups. The city officials have already started defining secret meetings with them, as community meetings. Since these districts are now the community, the community has been given dictatorial control over citizen rights. This article shows that reports are going to start coming out about the new rental fees very soon. This is the basis for the need to give dictatorial authority to Friends groups. All across the country, park privatization is based on the supposed revenue crisis. The crisis to privatization path is always the same, and I hope more people learn to recognize it! |
