For the last few weeks I’ve been patiently going about my business; silently waiting for the other shoe to drop on Park Ridge’s Senior Center Members, including their long time negotiating representatives, Park Ridge Senior Services, Inc. (SSI), a 501-C3. In the mean time, I have been right here, content to watch a magnificent bit of banter between Park Ridge Senior Center Senator, Ms. Helen Roppel and Park Ridge PublicWatchdog’s own Robert Trizna.
Leadership - Wynn-Ryan/Biagi/Brandt Style!
Well, the other shoe has finally dropped – in the form of a manifesto titled: “Cooperative Guidelines for Park Ridge Recreation and Park District & Park Ridge Senior Services, Inc.” This documents unreasonable demands, in my opinion, can only be interoperated one way:
“If you stay in my house – you live by my rules!”.
The on-going Park Board/Senior Center farce has come down to this new – absurd document. Friends, I would love to display this new information today. However, I’m not yet at liberty to publically display these “Guidelines”, having agreed to withhold the documents release until the Seniors have had an opportunity to read the manifesto for themselves.
So who’s to blame for this mess?
If you ask the Wynn-Ryan/Biagi/Brandt led Board, they’ll probably blame it all on those pesky Seniors. If you ask the Senior Center leaders, they’ll blame it on PRPD’s non-communicative intransigent Board of Commissioners.
Well, I say we need to place blame where it really belongs!
Stay tuned!
