"(T)here are only five communities in the state of Kentucky that have all-inclusive playgrounds, according to AccessiblePlayground.net. The closest of those is nearly an hour from the City of Madisonville, and even further for the surrounding areas we serve. As the hub of our six-county service area, we feel an obligation to meet the needs of all the children we serve. We envision an area where all children have equal opportunity to play, dream, learn to overcome challenges, exercise, and develop a love of the outdoors."

These high paying jobs in the state government are a bit disturbing. I always love the argument that we have to pay these people a lot of money otherwise they'll just go get a job in the private sector making lot more. But when you make the same argument about a government HVAC support person, or IT person, or whatever position, they don't see it that way. In fact for those people they want to take away their pensions, cut the number of staff around them to increase their work load, and then ultimately cut their pay.
