To The Editor: I am not a resident of the city of Warrenton. I live in southern Warren County. But I have been watching the saga of the “aquatic center” for the 18 years we have lived in Warren County.I have seen the residents of Warrenton turn down the “aquatic center” time and time again.If residents read closely, the article on the “aquatic center” in last week’s Record (along with a picture of the glorified indoor pool), one will see phrases such as “potential” and “expected.”The article again states that Prop A will not mean a tax increase to the residents of Warrenton UNLESS it becomes necessary to pay off the $7.5 million bonds. Then it goes on to say that the question isn’t whether the project will go forward, work has already begun, instead the question is how the city (residents) will pay for it.Hmm, that’s a pretty strong statement from the mayor and members of the board of aldermen. They have wanted to put this “aquatic center feather” in their cap for years even though the voters kept telling them no. Maybe they think by telling the residents of the city that the project will go forward, the residents will acquiesce and approve the $7.5 million loan on Aug. 8.It’s bad enough to have to go into debt for something that is necessary. To go into $7.5 million (debt) for an “aquatic center” is poor judgment by officeholders.If the people approve of such debt, I will be able to pay my fee and use the indoor pool (aka aquatic center) even though it may be slightly higher than a city resident will have to pay to use the aquatic center over and above the taxes the Warrenton resident already pays. It will be the residents of Warrenton who are on the hook.That’s a pretty good deal for me.Bev Ehlen,Treloar
