100 percent of this blog's readership believes the Park Board should publicly disclose the changes it sought to make to the original and supplemental agreements it made with the Springfield Skatepark Association.
This is my personal contention:
I think the voting public has the right to this information if it is to be expected to support the Park Board, which is its representative for the management of public parks.
If a government agency brings a lawsuit against private citizens or non-profit groups providing services to the public, it is the duty of the agency and its directors to disclose the facts supporting the case to the public's attention.
The Park Board and City Council are OUR representatives and they owe us a reasonable and complete explanation for taking such drastic action against a non-profit organization in good standing.
Unless the Park Board can prove the SSA violated the terms of either the original agreement or the supplemental agreement to the public's satisfaction (and by this I mean a full and OPEN hearing on the City Council Agenda), such a lawsuit should not be approved and authorized by the City or its legal department.
