We've all heard a lot of hype and bragging
about how Mayor Doherty "Restored" the Park
Well, if you were an out of town visitor and saw all the "Thank you Mayor Doherty for Restoring the
Park" signs, and heard him constantly bragging about his "restoration" of the park, and then you visited the park, here's
what your reasonable inquiry would be:
IF THAT'S "RESTORED", WHAT THE HELL DID IT LOOK LIKE BEFORE?
The answer to that inquiry is that the condition of the pool area alone has been the
same since Doherty took office, and in fact, it's much worse in numerous areas, not restored, as in many other places within
the park. He restored nothing that was really desperate for attention and restoration. The areas of consistent public traffic
and use were actually the most horrendous when he took office. Instead of addressing the priorities of safety and health issues
in those high traffic areas, he planted flowers and had a $700,000.00 fish pond built that is a fishless, slimy monument to
collusion if there ever was one. He built a $700,000.00 trail that is a disgraceful farce. He had a new bath house built
to replace one that was perfectly fine because all the plumbing burst (somehow) in the winter, with heat on in the building.
Wonder what that was all about? What do you think? Politicians have to make money move from pocket to pocket before they can
stop it in the pocket of choice. That's what it's all about. It's old stuff. Why else does a man spend a half million
to get a $50,000.00 a year job? That's what all this construction is about with Mayor Doherty. Millions was spent on unnecessary
amenities and accoutrements while long neglected health and safety necessities went completely ignored.
Dear Mayor Doherty,
Don't say that you've restored the park when the inside and outside of the pool area is
a shameful, hazardous and unsafe disgrace and everyday threat to the general public, especially little kids, as the pictures
below will prove.
Date of pictures: July 17 through July 26, 2005
Some were taken before the public began to appear for the day, and others
were taken after they appeared. One month prior to these pictures being taken, a letter of dissatisfaction regarding
these conditions was sent to Mayor Doherty. These pictures represent his response. He did nothing.

These pictures are disturbing and upsetting, but they don't lie.
THIS IS THE TRUTH ABOUT NAY AUG PARK!!!!
