To the editor: I agree that, throughout this tough time in our nation, the cancellation of the Lengthy Seashore Satisfaction Competition appeared reckless (“Bittersweet Satisfaction: Pleasure on the Lengthy Seashore parade, outrage over canceled competition,” Might 17). What I nonetheless wish to know is that this: What particularly occurred? “Security” is such a generic rationalization to maintain listening to.
If a few of these considerations existed, shouldn’t they’ve been addressed and resolved 60 days in the past? In accordance with the metropolis’s account, organizers did not submit stamped structural engineering plans, detailed safety plans and electrical infrastructure paperwork essential to clear security opinions. But the organizers say they “tried every thing [they] may to achieve a decision with the Metropolis.”
The general public deserves a clearer rationalization of the place the breakdown really occurred.
