To turf or not to turf, that is the question

What an amazing show at the BOC Meeting Monday Night.. The issue was should Radnor Township pony up one third of the cost of a turf field at the high school. Of course that means that that the tax payers pay two thirds.
I don't have a position on turf. I can understand both sides of the discussion. Curious that the Parks and Rec Board discussed this at least 10 years ago but we were shot down and told the issue was a "no-starter".
Why I do object to is the way we do business. Much like the last turf field, there is a private donor and a deadline... a gun held to the head, as it were. This time however, the fix is in. The decision to do this was made last fall....
And isn't it curious that the estimates for Sulpizio gym conversion are high by almost the amount that the Township is being asked to kick in.....
