The trio discussed the educational and safety benefits of swimming facilities and the need for a pool in Norton Shores and Roosevelt Park. This authority would go a long way toward achieving our goals. Van Woerkom agrees and has introduced legislation to help move the process along. Families in Norton Shores and Roosevelt Park continue to express an interest in a swimming pool. Moms and dads want their children to have the same opportunities they had as youngsters.
Swimming is good clean fun for everyone and an important recreation for teens.
I appreciate Dr. Shierman and Mrs. Otto coming all this way to express their views. Committee members from both sides of the aisle listened carefully to their testimony. SB 1276 is expected to pass out of committee soon.
