Special: The Muskrat on Latest at Spring Park

Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice … or more, if I live in Tuscumbia. The Tuscumbia City Council voted on Monday night to dedicate $220,000 to renovate the Spring Park Fountain Show. Woo-hoo! That’s great news for Spring Park! Now guys, let’s not start jumping on the City Council’s band wagon. They certainly do not deserve all the praise.

The real heroes are the group of concerned citizens who called out our city leaders for idly sitting on their hands as the park slowly deteriorated. After many months of receiving citizen complaints, the City Council’s arm was twisted and thus they finally submitted to cleaning up their damage. Now who’s going to ensure that the park property and the attractions are properly maintained and kept in a reasonably safe condition? Oh no! Please say it isn’t so! 

Surely the City of Tuscumbia isn’t foolish enough to clean up their mess only to hand it back over to the same Park Director. If Joel Kendrick continues to have control he will steer the park right back into its current state of disorder. If they were wise then they would know that we study our history so that we may learn from our past mistakes. Have the Mayor and City Council Members been fooled or are they just fools?
