Paul C MurrayNov 20, 2008

A week ago I wrote "Letter to Editor" against Township putting Rocky Hill Dog Park out of business by creating a FREE township dog park. This will not be free for tax payers. Costs are estimated $30,000 to $50,000 plus insurance, plus maintenance, plus employee attendance costs most of which will be added to future year's budgets. Stated dog ownership is !900 dogs. If 10 percent of dog owners even bother with the dog park, that is a per priveledged person cost of nearly $190. Why should the other 40,000 township residents have to pay for this? Another cost is the loss of $5000- - $10,000 tax revenues when Rocky Top Dog Park goes bankrupt from the free township dog park competition. Is this what the Township should be doing with our money? I don't think so!

Paul
