tom kean jr absence impact confirmed as town council votes to pave over historic playground, citing 'common sense' budget cuts
Just saw the agenda for next week’s town council meeting, and I’m fuming. With Tom Kean Jr. nowhere to be found at the county level, our local council thinks they can bulldoze the old Washington Park playground—the one my grandkids grew up on—because it’s “too expensive to maintain.” They literally said the quiet part out loud: “We’re just applying common sense savings since no one is watching from above.” No consideration for the kids, for the history, for the community. This is exactly the #tomkeanjrabsenceimpact we keep warning about. When the big shots are missing, the little guys get steamrolled. Anyone else ready to chain themselves to the swing set?
