Star Tribune Opinion Piece by Minneapolis Park Board Commissioner Becky Alper APRIL 17, 2022


Excerpt:

“Miami Beach climate denialists and Hiawatha 18-hole delusionists ignore the inevitable — that our earth is changing in a way that makes it less hospitable to people, and frankly, to golf.

Without significant expenditures, extensive damage to the environment and surrounding neighborhood, and massive amounts of human intervention, we are unfortunately not going to engineer our way to an 18-hole solution at Hiawatha.”
