who worked in the village office, inquiring about a public swimming pool.
they assured her the village was working to get one and that the town should have one in a few years.
we moved into that town when i was seven years old.
i stayed there and raised my kid there.
fifty years passed by before i moved out. still no public pool!
and it's been a number of years since. still no public pool.
i remember they put it up for a vote about 20 years ago. a group of seniors started a campaign that was directed to other seniors-- it will raise your taxes!
well, since it was a majority of seniors who went out and voted -- guess what? NO POOL!
the park district had already bought and cleared land; they already had the money to build it. the pool was going to have a lot of great stuff--including (my favorite) a lazy river!
so instead they just built a huge rec center with a lot of workout equipment & a track, a couple room rentals. no indoor pool.
taxes still went up.
