[quote="anon-4178"]The library is a public fundraiser project, tennis courts are not something than be a shared space and are a fraction of the cost of an auditorium, the ball field was a pet project of a past Tc that is no longer here and did not have majority support from residents. If a group of parents want to fundraise to build an auditorium then they should go for it. We don’t need to spend tax dollars on this.[/quote]
