City of Tacoma Wants More Property Taxes for Roads and Walks, but

City of Tacoma can not even complete a simple grass maintenance job within a City neighborhood park property

As the photos reflect City of Tacoma Washington Hill Neighborhood Park and how it looks -for example, from the street side of this park it looks maintained with grass trimmed but just step inside this park and appreciate the City of Tacoma abandon care, so City of Tacoma can not even take care of a simple duty of cutting the grass within its city park. But, now the city thinks if it only had more money maintenance not done yesterday would and could be done tomorrow1

Washington Hill Neighborhood Park

Apparent is lack of lawn maintenance within this park just out-of-sight of the people that drive by this City of Tacoma Washington Hill Neighborhood Park site.

Now, City of Tacoma wants to propose the ‘Citizens’ of Tacoma pay more property taxes -as a result, the City of Tacoma can correctly maintain our City of Tacoma traffic roads, walks, and bike paths. But as this Washington Hill Neighborhood Park shows – naturally, the City of Tacoma General Government can not even do a simple task for ‘Citizens’ like cutting the grass on it owned property.

So, the city puts on a good public front with tangled web of foliage just out of public view.
