Your Opinion: Capitol amenities need maintenance

Dear Editor:

A recent visit to the park behind the Capitol building was quite distressing. What was once a very pleasant and uplifting area has now become an eyesore. The walkway around the fountains (which need cleaning) is cracking and will no doubt cause accidents if left to further decay.

The Liberty Bell display is a disgrace to the people of Missouri. The ceiling overhead is in dire need of repair and painting, the brick walkway is disintegrating and the bell itself looks like it could fall any day. This is in my opinion disrespectful to the memory of those for which it was constructed. Visitors to our state must be thinking negative thoughts when they see how we maintain what should be a highlight of their experience.

Perhaps a portion of the "$750,000 Senate Renovation" should be reallocated to repair and preserve this area. If you agree, make your opinion known.
