Re: your Sept. 4 article, “BMX bike track nears completion�:
This article about the new BMX track opening in Camarillo hit a nerve. It sounds like a lot of red tape and finger-pointing by the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District board members. Having to wait a full year for the grant funds to be available, then three changes in the general managers? Hmmm. Having to wait a year for the district to finally install the lights? What was happening to those funds while all this was going on? How can Patty Hamm be disappointed, since she’s the chairwoman?
It looks like the little guy got stuck in all the changes going on, but thank goodness the "little guys" will prevail. Why didn't the article mention all the people and vendors who have donated time, material and equipment to this track to help it open? This is a good thing for the community and the kids. Did they lose sight of that? How about some support from the Recreation and Park District board members? Hmmmm. Is it an election year?
