Parkland Park Expansion Sparks Republican Backlash
Growing opposition to the park expansion in Parkland centers on the council’s handling of a land purchase. Alder man George Ellis says no voter supports proceeding with the sale for a 25 percent profit to Isseks and Ingrassia. Officials fear the council will reject the option, killing the project, and Isseks and Ingrassia may put the land on the market. Republican leaders warn the dispute strains the party’s unity ahead of elections. Local critics press for renegotiation and more parkbed development beyond the contentious parcels.
