In an interview with the Examiner, Friends of the Pool (FOP) Chair Suzanne Perin acknowledged mistakes were made during last year’s Proposition 1 campaign to create a taxing authority for an aquatic center in the valley.
During the campaign, FOP denied there was a design plan or that the pool would run $20 million, despite a public meeting in Jan. of 2023 in which a consultant hired by FOP stated otherwise.
“I would say…
I would love for the pool to be funded, but not through a park district that can continue to tax us for other projects! Once you give them the authority, they seem to think like the government, that they have an unlimited budget.
