Statler And Waldorf Gnomes

OPEN LETTER TO NEWSPAPERS

After about two months after forwarding the petition to the Committee for the spontaneous "Montereale Park," has raised a number of issues affecting life, the livability and usability of the site (air pollution, noise pollution, lack of controls, etc ...), some things have happened, which demonstrates that, in fact, that it is not absolutely nothing happened.
Before reporting developments (non-development) initiative, which, somewhere, we wanted to give a distorted view, the role of opposition (to which or whom?), The Committee wishes to claim joint authorship.
So in order to immediately bring down the (false) belief, common in art, those who believe they see the group as a tool of individual and shield.
This interpretation, in addition to being biased, offends intelligence, intellectual honesty of members to the committee, mortify the commitment of themselves and of the delegates, and most importantly, does not recognize its independence.
is not unlikely that its spread represents nothing if not an attempt to undermine the group, weakening its strength, breaking a front that until now has been shown together.
So what happened? Or what did not happen?
What happened: The petition has certainly had the merit to do so was inhibited in the park, along the road from the end of the bridge goes up to the building that houses the pool and skirts, the parking of motor vehicles. Parking, In fact, it is now permanently banned (from 0:00 to 24:00), with anticipation of forced removal in case of failure to comply with the ban.
That did not happen: the vehicles continue to enter and stay in that area at all hours of the day, especially in the evening and night hours. The presence of signs ban clearly can not avoid the car, in the absence of the fundamental action of the Municipal Police, that systematically sanctions violators, thereby providing clear messages to motorists about the consequences of violations of the ban.
What happened: With the petition, it was learned that engaging in "Dancing" has no permissions to the noise in the atmosphere, the fact is not smentibile as expressly declared to the delegates of the committee by the Municipal Police, as well as personally confirmed by the Mayor, during three sessions of City Council, after many questions from the Board.
That did not happen: the year in question has regularly continued, and continues each night to deliver music through the sound system to which the exercise has, diffused through loudspeakers placed outside the premises for the sale.
E 'strong, the committee and its members, Frustrating as an unpleasant feeling of helplessness in the face of such a situation of lawlessness tolerated!
The following questions are in order:
who we are administered?
If these are the benchmarks, all they can do whatever they want with impunity? Or maybe just a few?
think about it, something happened: Sunday, August 2, the Central Park fountain gushing water, the space devoted to children has been integrated with new games.
The Committee hopes that this is a significant step, though minimal, to resolve the issues proposed, and looks more consistent signals to that effect.
