So there is a public "investment" in that park.valleygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081991984834893354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157051350798517553.post-76875426407904564432011-11-16T11:35:34.904-05:002011-11-16T11:35:34.904-05:00The article has been edited as notd to allow that ...The article has been edited as notd to allow that Zuccotti is privately owned but OPEN to the public. Open to the public does indeed force some requirements that must be adhered to. <br /><br />Additionally, i edited to add parks in general, most of which IMO are publicly owned being used by occupiers, so yes our money is involved.<br /><br />Zuccotti Park itself and public dollars? Most definitely when hundreds of police officers are sent there to protect the safety of all who use it even if it is privately owned. <br /><br />While the cleanup may be paid for by Brookfield Properties, those police get paid with public tax dollars.<br /><br />Thanks for writing.Louisville News and Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304053439681295941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157051350798517553.post-20356600726329313322011-11-16T11:19:54.664-05:002011-11-16T11:19:54.664-05:00A few other parts you missed...........
