[Baltimore Sun] City voters should oppose public land giveaways | READER COMMENTARY
Read Time:51 Second
The Baltimore Sun reported last year that Carroll Park Golf Course, owned by the city of Baltimore, was considered “the most feasible option” for the site of a soccer stadium. Sounded then and now like another proposed theft of public park land. Today, The Sun details the severe neglect of that golf course (“Inspector general report shows dilapidated working conditions at Baltimore golf course building,” Oct. 27).
To the folks in charge: We see what you are doing — and not doing — on behalf of this precious resource. Baltimore voters need to know there is no law preventing development in a public park. It is therefore critical to vote “No” on Question F to stop the city from giving away any part of the Inner Harbor to any developer and to send a larger message that our parks are not gifts to be bestowed by city and state officials.
