MPSC made a proposal to hire a DOC about three years ago and Ted Summerford quashed the idea. It's all about power and status. The proposal would not have cost the Town a penny, the MPSC had funds in the bank. The fact that Burdette refers to "Hungryneck" as the travel teams shows just how out of touch that guy is. MPSC has consistently been a donor for the rest of Mt P Rec programs. MPSC would love to run the Premier teams and hire a DOC and still work with the Town to run the micro and rec soccer program, but closed minds have won out. Maybe somebody can ask Gawrych, Santos and Swails..."Why do we need a referendum for soccer fields when baseball fields were already budgeted"? "Why can't MPSC hire a DOC and run the elite program if it doesn't cost the Town any taxpayer funds"?
