GCTruth, I got something to say here. I been a life long resident of Granite City, I have seen things come & gone & this 1 problem we have is having people from Venice & Madison that come in our town & even the kids use the schools. Now correct me if I am wrong but, did the school board say they will check to see if kids actually live in the city & if they do not the parents will have a big talk with the principal or the superintendent.
Another thing I have a problem is the park pool. My Parents voted for that & this the thanks we get with our tax dollars when they open it at 1pm & close it at 4:45 on Mondays & 5:45pm on Tuesday-Sunday. They say well our lifeguard gotta go back to school. Also they really want to rent it for parties. If they want that just say you want no one in the pool than do it that way. Also we got to deal with people with Venice & Madison again coming over to use our pool, but what made this worst this year at the park pool was they closed during the hottest part of summer August 17. Really, I will never go back to the park pool until the hours change cause what is the point of getting a snack there after about a hour of swimming & then go back into the pool after sometime & notice I have about 45mintues to a hour to swim. Not worth it.
Granite need more here I see it growing but its not mostly Ed's fault unless we have people in this city want it here.
Now tell me what you think about my little rant I have.
