Today's comment comes from Tom Carter in regard to Brett Cihon's editorial blog from late February about the temporary closure of Yauger Skatepark in Olympia due to excessive litter.

Carter writes,

Wow, just think about how much trash the Lakefair creates, they don't shut that down to prove a point to the general public that they are being "bad" or need to "shape up". I understand the fair lasts for a week and the skatepark is there all year, but something so popular should be taken into consideration and dealt with, not just shut down. Instead of resolving the issue, I feel like whoever in charge here is acting like some tough mom trying to ground it's citizens.
