To The Editor:

I wish to comment on Glen Swanson's letter "Is Speech Free in Town Parks?" dated July 25.

[naviga:ol]

[naviga:li]Treadwell park is free of charge per Park and Rec.[/naviga:li]

[naviga:li]Pool passes are charged for resident and nonresident per Park and Rec.[/naviga:li]

[naviga:li]You are correct, nonresidents are charged $150 for the season. There is a daily charge for nonresidents per Park and Rec.[/naviga:li]

[/naviga:ol]

How does this limit free speech? You must pay to get into state parks and national parks.

Finally, I will be sending you my end-of-the-year tax bill. Let me know what you are going to pay - you said in your letter you would not mind paying additional taxes - so I can subtract from my check. Feel free to pay the total amount.

Thank you,

John Karlson
