Jake's Law Playground bond ordinance

The all-abilities playground at Valleybrook Complex is 75% covered by a $562,500 Green Acres grant, with the remaining $187,500 at 0% interest over 20 years. The state requires a $750,000 bond ordinance as the spending mechanism. Resident Sam Smart questioned whether taxpayer exposure is truly capped.
