Thank You -- Amazing Support for Murphy
Thanks to everyone for signing the petition. Your signatures and comments have served to propel this issue forward and to raise visibility with local advocacy groups and politicians. The City Council Ways and Means hearing is Wednesday and the more people we can get to sign this the better. Please continue sharing
In addition to signing this petition, if you can, please call and email the members of the committee and other interested councilors. Councilors definitely keep track of these messages.
The message is simple: Please allocate the necessary funds in the FY22 budget to make Murphy Field a multi-sport playing surface worthy of the children who play on it.
This is an election year with all members running for re-election and several councilors running for mayor.
