Stop turf now

I’ve read in the CNA news article, Mr. McDermott mentioned he had 3,000 plus remarks or suggestions on what his administration needed to spend money on. (the budget was mentioned) Included was a $1.2 million project mentioned to put turf on the present football field.

The next CNA article said he stepped up and he chose to spend $20,000 just to go forward. (I don’t think so) These consultant fees are premature. This is his pet project from the get go. Head Start and early learning programs are put off again.

The state of Iowa told us to expect less money next year. We also need more area to be used and we really need the parking period.
