Quoted from Shadow

I agree, but why would the volunteers need more money to care for the rose garden if not to pay the city for some kind of expenses.

The article says that the volunteer group spends $45,000 a year maintaining the garden.  That money is not coming from the city budget.

Maybe the city should start paying the volunteers for the work they do for the city.

thi is all nonsense.......just like the way the park is now......not even safe to go there.

Central Park is another example of DEM moron "progress", The tennis courts used to the best in the area. Now nobody will pay to play on broken asphalt. A lot of things in Schenectady used to be. Litter, graffiti, pit bulls, Lumpy Kosiur's Holiday Camp, summer feeding center, a real dumping grounds. It's so bad the greenhouse can't be kept open. Central Park must be turned over to the County for proper maintenance. The City is too busted to maintain this former jewel. Keep the DEM implosion going!
