Bad news: Selling out the commons…brainwashing us with corporations

Posted on March 8, 2009 by kwilder

KW: Evidently, Suffolk County will be selling naming rights of parks to corporations. I think it’s a stupid idea. (See Newsday story: here.) Parks should be named by landmarks, geography, or people from local history. In that way, we create a web of community and belonging. And, in addition, everyone’s navigation is aided by the […]

Interesting news for Suffolk County politics

Posted on February 6, 2009 by iwilder
