County government should look at the needs of Orange <br /> County and try to take care of these needs without taxing the people more <br /> and more. The needs of the municipalities should be different from those of <br /> the county. He spoke against swimming pools indicating they are wants <br /> instead of needs. Some of the larger parks are not needed. <br /> TOM O'DWYER spoke in support of the Plan. He stated he feels people <br /> should look at the future instead of the present situation. Recreation and <br /> Parks is an investment in our future that involves a sacrifice now for that <br /> future. He emphasized that governmental implementation of preservation is <br /> something that can last a lot longer and provide for the future of the <br /> community. <br /> WITH NO FURTHER COMMENTS, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br /> D.
