Bristol, CT -- Another Example of Government Waste

The city of Bristol, CT has enhanced the quality of life in town by flooding a sand volleyball court in a municipal park to create a small ice skating rink. The rink is nothing fancy, but it's a good use of a town park during winter months when it mostly stands dormant. However, Bristol takes it a step further by posting a town worker at the rink to over see activities. Keep in mind this is a pile of sand with ice on it, not an NHL hockey rink. So, some town employee is paid to sit there are watch people (mostly kids) skate. Why is this necessary? Why is this necessary, especially considering the budget constraints under which the city is operating? The answer is that it's not necessary. After all, the town does not post a worker at the park during the summer months to supervise volleyball, basketball, softball, or the playground. Why are these summer activities any different from a small skating rink in the winter? I know many smaller towns that have made similar rinks. They leave the rinks open to public enjoyment. No supervision required. In order to save money (and common sense) Bristol should do the same, and get rid of the unnecessary "supervisor" at the town rink.
