Not outside in the sun. Kevin joyce is on a mission to save the piney branch pool much the six lane 25 meter tacoma park watering hole is widely used. Seniors, students, swim teams, kayak clubs, even scuba classes use it year round. When i heard that we werent funded, my heart sunk. I was i was just devastated. I said no t happen. Kevin the problem, the Montgomery County executive drained the pools funding from his 2016 budget. All were asking for is 160,000. Kevin 160 grand will keep the lights on and pool full for another year. And so this week, pool promoters, many children packed into tacoma park Council Meeting to raise awareness, tacomas council has since passed a resolution calling on Montgomery County leaders to cough up the cash. If we dont get the fund this pool will look like it did in 2009. Empty. Green at the bottom of the pool. The lights out. It looked very desolate. Kevin right here is a stack of letters from concerned students. One wrote the pool is fun because there are slides and you get to cool off in the water. I also learn better after exercise. Again, county executive ike leggett did not recommend the funding for this pool but the final decision rests with the county council. In tacoma park, im kevin lewis abc 7 news.
