One of the most successful projects downtown is the Children’s Park. It’s always full of children enjoying the playground and park rides. Presently, as promised, it has 24-hour security. Now Mayor Gloria wants to cut the overnight security. Our leaders are trying to balance the budget by raising fees on parking, valet parking spaces and anything they can to correct their terrible planning of the city budget. Now imagine what is going to happen with the homeless at night and our children coming to play the next day! It is not right. It is unsanitary and criminal to expose them to who knows what will be at park grounds in the morning. Come on, mayor, cut some of your staff and take care of our children!
