    The front page of the Times-Union weekend edition says that The Center
    Lake Recreational Trail is being built by the parks department, and
    will be financed entirely by the park budget and voluntary donations.

    That's as it should be.

    A few decades ago someone was talking up a new "bike" trail, and how
    we could persuade the powers that be to spend tax money on it. I
    said, "But this is purely recreational; it should be paid for with
    donations."

    With a straight face and perfect sincerity, he answered "But if we ask
    people nicely, they might say 'no'."
