This would be amazing to have in Sheridan! I hope everyone gets behind it.

Kinda’ forced to “get behind it” since it’s tax-payer funded and paying taxes is never voluntary.
All taxes are collected thru Force. Either implied or applied. (i.e. if you comply then no force will be Applied.)
Guess you’re hoping that those of us who object to being forced to pay for luxuries, just won’t make too much fuss, huh?

Looks like another taxpayer funded boondoggle.

Dennis the Menace, 10:43 pm? You need to get to bed earlier. You’re grumpy when you stay up past 10:00. Thanks for offering your unsolicited advice. You should run for office…oops sorry. You have many, many, many, many times. Too soon???

Make it an event/rec/aquatic center. And then put it out on the north end of town next to the interstate. Capturing tourism dollars should be the focus. The YMCA could be so much more, but they decided to keep it hidden from tourists. Don’t make the same mistake.

Don’t care where they put it, just don’t take it out of taxpayer pockets. We’re 34 Trillion in debt and in 70’s style stagflation. We need to pull our head out of the sand and show some fiscal responsibility.
