Linda lives in Waveland, Michigan. Recently the town received good news. The State of Michigan had approved its request for money to improve the city park.
Waveland's city council held a meeting and invited residents. Linda went with her parents. Most people wanted the money to be used for building a public water park and for buying playground equipment. However, Waveland's mayor said that the money from the state could not pay for both projects.
Mr. Matthews was against building a public water park. He owns a water park. He charges admission and has many customers in the summer. He thinks a public water park would hurt his business.
