Revolution in the Air? Glen Rock grassroots group fights turf plan there

Revolution in the Air? Glen Rock grassroots group fights turf plan there
Interested Observer

Just south of The Wood, yet another grassroots group is fighting yet another multimillion-dollar bonded turf project.

It’s happening all over. (Just saw this; was away last week.) I had a feeling that the huge number of people in Glen Rock who were against that turf project from the start weren’t going to accept their council’s decision not only to let it go through but also, adding financial insult to bad-politics injury, to pay for 90% of the $3 million with tax money instead of 0%, as the sports groups once promised–while promising to raise the funds, which they failed to do.

Last Chance to Fight Turf Field

Sign the petition tonight, June 17 at Starbucks 

Many Glen Rock citizens are dismayed with the Mayor and Council’s recent decision to pass a $3,000,000 bond ordinance–without a citizen-wide vote–to fund the synthetic turf athletic field project and accompanying commercial sports complex at Faber Field (which is to include restrictive fencing, unsightly billboards and lighting and revenue-producing commercial concessions and non-resident field rentals).  If you are concerned about the preservation of Glen Rock’s peaceful parkland, cooling green open space, and natural grass fields that are available to all Glen Rockers, please consider signing our Citizen Petition.  You can read a copy of the petition below, and if you are both a Glen Rock resident and registered voter, you may join us in this challenge by signing a hard copy of this document at the following locations both today and tomorrow:
 
Tuesday June 17th at the Starbuck’s Glen Rock from 6:30 to 8:30 pm

Thank you.
