Unfortunately, the controversy over the Monroe Park renovations and the feeding programs continues to grow, with the media circling.

Here’s a simple question:

Will Food Not Bombs be allowed to serve food in Monroe Park after renovations are done?

Yes or No?

Is there a definitive, official answer?

Of course there are other important questions in regard to this, but it seems to me that this needs to be answered first by civic leadership to dispel or confirm some of the fear and distrust that surround the issue. I might add, without injecting further personal opinion, that there is a history to this that you may or may not agree with.

(Alright, a little more personal opinion: there are a few citizens on different sides of the issue, and they know who they are, who are doing what they can to keep lines of communication open and they deserve appreciation).
