I see plenty of land at this location to build a new center without destroying the great tennis courts that, if left alone, will save Glendale a bunch of money.
I know they have to save a big space on the lawn to put a nice brass plaque with all their names on it.
With the economy the way it is, you’d think they would be trying to save money instead of spending another gazillion dollars on four or two or one new court.
The one good thing about all this is that it is election year.
Don’t they know we are in a full-blown recession? Anyway, thank goodness it’s election year. Oops. Hope they don’t charge me extra for saying that twice.

Stick with city’s experienced treasurer
The candidates forum hosted by the League of Women Voters was an excellent showcase for the attractive, talented people running for City Council (“Challengers urge change on dais,” March 13). The questions were relevant and crisp. The candidates’ answers, for the most part, were focused and thoughtful. We are fortunate to have so many highly educated, well-qualified residents to choose from in a council election.
The forum was also a showcase for the candidates running for the office of city treasurer. The present treasurer, Ron Borucki, described his responsibility as management of the city’s investment portfolio and banking relationships. He protects Glendale’s capital investments of taxpayer dollars and earned interest. He stated that the accounting and financial management of the city’s agencies and daily business affairs is the responsibility of the city’s finance director.
