Unslaked and slippery

Editor,

On our recent travels through the wonder-filled state of Wyoming, we stopped in Saratoga to enjoy the hot springs. It is truly a wonderful concept that a city supports a hot springs for residents and travelers alike to enjoy at no charge. After soaking in the waters for awhile, I was thirsty and wanted a drink of water. But the water fountains do not work. And the steps are bit slippery.

I understand cities can be strapped for cash to keep up maintenance of their recreational facilities. Still, it would be nice to have a cool drink of water after a hot soak and steps that are not slippery. It was then I saw a corporate jet fly overhead bound for the Saratoga airport.

Has any thought been giving to attaching a fee to corporate jet landings to help pay for repair of the water fountains at the hot springs and other recreational maintenance?

Sincerely,

Jake and Nicky Shoales

Spokane, Washington
