Still catering to the 2%, Toledo opens city pools today

Still catering to the 2%, Toledo opens city pools today - WatchdogWire - Ohio:
"I did an analysis of pool usage in 2008 and found that Toledo pools really don’t have that high of attendance with maybe about 2% of the city’s population actually utilizing this ‘service.’
Based upon census data and cost at the time, I found it was costing the city about $120 per person served.
As I wrote at the time:
It would be cheaper to buy every kid in the city a membership to the Boys and Girls Club ($5 per year for 16-18 year olds, but only $3 for 7-15 year olds) which would give them access to ALL activities, not just the pools."
