Mayor Bashing?

There seems to be a lot of Mayor bashing going on today about the mini parks in Indy. But few if any has brought out a solution to this problem.

For those who knows me, before you tell me that I am old and that I bring up some old ideas, I would offer this. Why don’t those citizens pitch in and do some of the work in these important parks. They could cut the grass, rank out the gavel or sawdust around the play area. It does not take much to bend over and pick up trash. They could even start a fund for improvements.

But as usual we have those that do not agree with a idea but does not offer any solution or actions. They want to burden the tax payers with work that they could do them selves. One poster on the Indianapolis star even said it did not cost much for the city to mow these parks. I disagree. It takes a person, truck and lawnmower to do this. Not counting the time and expense to travel to the location.

It seems everyone wants to complain about services being cut but will do nothing in the form of doing anything themselves. You can not have it both ways. You either have to pitch in and do some of the work or you have to pay to have it done thru taxes.
