No Subsidies for Tennis Players
Have you read about the tennis players in Moorpark? All 300 of them in a city with a population of about 28,000! They want the other 27,000-plus of us to build eight to 12 tennis courts at a cost of $300,000 to $500,000. That’s a lot of money and it doesn’t even mention maintenance.
I personally don’t think the city has an obligation to do anything that benefits so few at such a cost to so many, especially in a time when we are wondering where we will get the money for important things like police and fire protection.
If you are going to start subsidizing people’s hobbies, you can subsidize mine too. I grow weeds, and I would like a really nice place to do that.
