Waterloo park officials defend past actions in statements
Waterloo park commissioners refuse to apologize and present a joint statement defending bond issues and bidding practices. They claim Devitt Tremble & Co. provided the best bid with a 6.14 percent return, that bids were open to all, and that land purchases and debts were managed honestly under expert advice. They deny any connections to the bond firm and pledge public inspection of records.
