Letter: Vote for Leigh Harrod

To the Editor:

Leigh Harrod is running for Three Rivers Park District Board of Commissioners, District 4. Although I am not a Hennepin County resident, I am none-the-less a frequent user of the parks. I speak for many of the 8 million annual visitors who enjoy these parks, however, we don’t get to vote for the Three Rivers Park Commissioners. Still we care who they are.

Leigh brings extensive hands-on expertise to the table, along with an extreme passion to preserve the environment while analyzing all aspects of park usability.  She is relentless in pursuit of information and solutions – technical and financial.  Her unique skill set would enhance the knowledge base of the Park District.  The District Vision Plan’s #1 Action – straight from their website – is “protect the region’s water and natural resources.” 

We need someone who can provide creative solutions, will listen to and represent the park users.  Leigh Harrod is the best candidate.
