'Parks vs. Stadiums" is subtitled "Is this what the voters had in mind? <br /> Let me answer with an emphatic 'no'( I certainly did not <br /> I believe it was Jim Johnson or Barbara Keller who presented and <br /> explained the parks measure to an Amazon Neighbors meeting that I <br /> attended. Z voted For it, thinking of open space and facilities for a wide <br /> range of people not high school students specializing in athletics. <br /> I urge you to reconsider and reverse your interpretation of the <br /> measure. Betty Taylor is my representative, and she voice ray views on this <br /> issue. <br /> My reconsiderations?

These are questions of values <br /> and of trust. <br /> Sincerely - <br /> Erik Muller <br /> Copy to 4J School Board <br /> ji <br />
