After many years of dormancy, the much beleaguered ice rink at our nearby county park is again open. I think we should recognize County Executive Leopold as well as Councilman Josh Cohen for their efforts in making this happen. Of course it's the exec who proposes the funding, and it was on the chopping block, but Cohen worked hard to keep funding in place and ultimately won support form his colleagues. It may not be the most important piece of the budget but the rink was there of course--it just had a lot of mechanical problems. It seemed like fixing it was just the right thing to do rather than let what had already been built and proven itself popular to just...melt away. One way or another, politicians often find themselves skating on thin ice.
Oh--if you have not noticed, the new county fire station at Bay Ridge and Arundel on the Bay Rd. is slowly nearing completion just around the corner from the park so there is another example of an improvement in public service for out community.
