Earlier this week, I attended a hearing in the council chambers to discuss [the] turfing of the Broad River Park next to the fire station. I felt compelled to speak [for] many reasons.

I was responsible with others for getting the homerun fences installed, a batting cage, sod in the infields, and hanging a new scoreboard.
