Foster Sits Quietly While Pool He Wanted to Close is Saved by Council

At yesterday's city council meeting, Mayor Bill Foster sat quietly as the City Council unanimously voted to give the Jennie Hall Pool historic landmark status, protecting it from being shut down, as Mayor Foster had been considering just three months ago when he pushed for the delay in historic status for the south-side pool complex. Foster had used the excuse that attendance was down as a justification for the shutdown, of course he was the person who shortened hours and days open of the pools, so it seems that is the effect he was looking for all along. Cheers to the City Council for going against Mayor Foster and saving this historic landmark.
