Residents should be able to use the pool for free and every effort should be made to get Thej pool is fabulous and we should pay to enter but maybe there can be a discount for People who are over 65 in Hollywood Park should receive some kind of cap.  There should be a swing set at Voigt Park.  People who are 65 and older should have a tax freeze.  We should not freeze our taxes for residents that are 65 and older because it will affect all ofus by having to raise taxes for the rest of] Hollywood Park to make up the difference.
