They've also closed Ruthton park for the same reason. They're eliminating more and more of the green spaces in and around Hood River, despite the objections of we who live here.

Then they'll say too many people are congregating in the areas that remain. Then they'll tell you can buy a free permit in February for just a $6 service charge to visit the places you want. But act fast there's a quota!

Yeap.

100% accurate.

The word enabling comes to mind. It's our fault for enabling this behavior and teaching the "leaders" in charge to misappropriate funds.
