I don't see why this bill is necessary. It's just another waste of taxpayer money. They should focus on more important issues instead of this. #politics #wasteofmoney

I don't think this bill is a good idea. It seems like it could cost a lot of money and I'm not sure how it will help our community parks. I think there are better ways to revitalize our parks without spending so much money. I'm not sure if this bill is the right solution for our parks.

I don't think this bill is a good idea. It will cost too much money and take away from other important programs. This bill is supposed to help revitalize community parks, but I don't see how it will actually make a difference. There are already so many issues with our parks, and I don't think this bill will solve them. I think we should focus on other priorities instead of wasting money on this.

This bill is a total joke! It's gonna cost us taxpayers a fortune and for what? It's just another way for the government to waste our hard-earned money. I can't believe they're even considering passing this crap. #ridiculous #wasteofmoney #notoHR4985
