Letter Writer Needs Better Sources

To the Editor:

With reference to a letter to the editor in The Bee last week I would like to correct an observation by a Kevin Fitzgerald with regard to the cost of the Liberty Fields project. He stated that they “came in about $1 million over budget.” In reality they cost Newtown less than $700,000.

You need to get your information from better sources. One would be the Parks and Recreation Commission who initiated and monitored the project.

Misinformation can be even more damaging than no information.
