I work with them. They have to fight to get funding.

What department doesn’t?

And where did you get that info that they have the lowest operating budget? Just curious.

Edit: Nevermind. A quick search and review found you to be wrong. https://rva.gov/sites/default/files/2022-03/FY%202023%20Proposed%20Annual%20Fiscal%20Plan%20-%20FINAL%20%28online%20version%29_0.pdf

Thanks for the info. I should have said a very low budget for the amount of parks they need to maintain and improve. Apologies for the incorrect statement.

They all struggle for funding and you threw out BS for the karma.

Parks budget is also what the city gives them. They does not include revenue from events, or the FJRP donations.

Downvote then apologize? Or apologize then downvote. You realize that’s oxymoronic?

Just try and provide real data. There is a huge resource right at your fingertips.

I didn't downvote and I edited my comment since you were right in pointing out my info was incorrect. All I know is from working with them and their limited budget for projects. I've been told their annual budget is 600k to maintain ALL of the parks. That's just maintenance without the community center improvements which they were lucky to get federal funds to complete. I'm not trying to get karma or be argumentative, just wanted to defend a hard working group of people.

Hats off to you for correcting yourself and posting that you were wrong. I don't know why this Redittor is going after you, but I admire people who will admit they are wrong. It is so easy to just ignore a comment and go about your day, but you have integrity. Sure you did not verify your info before you stated anopinion, but it was pretty close to factual. It's not like you are writing for a dang medical journal.
