Comment by once banned twice shy on December 20, 2012 at 11:02am: The story about the park says that they had to stop work on the park because "another city took priority." What city? Is Albuquerque renting out the Parks and Rec workers? I love the critical resident who said he could have done the whole job for $5,000. Really dude? Have you actually priced sprinkler systems and landscaping work lately?

Comment by Bluegoo on December 20, 2012 at 12:16pm: Other city parks iam guessing from the context.

Comment by RunLikeADog on December 20, 2012 at 12:30pm: Well, OBTS. If you are so fond of investments like this,maybe you should fork over a little extra in taxes to pay for those sprinkler systems that waste water and incur fines.

Comment by RivetGang on December 20, 2012 at 1:00pm: I think the point of redoing the sprinklers was to stop wasting water and incurring fines... thus not wasting future tax dollars. I dunno, maybe I am wrong?
