A history of grievances against WECRD

While grievances against the Western Elmore County Recreation District aren’t uncommon, there’s a longer history than many realize.

“Some think the recall will be enough,” said Vivian Meyer at the Aug. 28 WECRD meeting, “but it’s an uphill battle.”

In March 2008, the impression was given that the WECRD was making progress on the recreation center project. When completed, the $5 million center would rest on 20 acres of land across from Mountain Home Junior High.

What I find ironic about the current effort, and I could be wrong but many of those for the recall seem to have been supporters of the previous board and were silent. They are members of other organizations that the previous board made monetary donations to and were more than happy to receive those taxpayer dollars. Once that stopped with the current board taking over, they began to cry foul. Again I could be wrong but that is how this taxpayer views this.
