Ken Has Worked Hard for Quality of Life

Ken has been on the Quality of Life board for several months.  This is a group created to promote a bond in the upcoming election for improving and upkeeping the trails, parks, and recreation facilities in St. George. The current bond is expiring.  This is a replacement bond, so taxpayers won't be paying a single penny more than they have been.  

One of the things that makes St. George great are all of the neighborhood parks, pickleball courts, tennis courts, and the trails that connect and run all over the city, creating a safe place for runners, walkers, and bikers to exercise.  They are well-used.  The head of the committee is Kent Perkins.  Kent is retired now, but whose career was head of parks and recreation in St. George.  A small, but vocal group, is trying to keep this bond from passing, causing Kent to create this Quality-of-Life group.  He was fearful that his career of hard work and his vision would be destroyed by a vocal few.  Kent made a huge difference in this city, creating a very desirable place to live.  

A donation was made, providing money for the group to spend on advertisements, flyers, yard signs, and large signs.  They asked Ken to do a video, promoting the trails.  I can't get videos to post here anymore, but it can be seen on our Facebook pages.  

I love this picture of Ken on his bike that one of the photographers took.

This is a flyer that members and helpers are spreading around town.

This picture was taken by a drone showing Ken and Ky riding their bikes over a bridge that connects the trail on two sides of the Virgin River.

Ken was asked to speak on behalf of the group (of over 600 people) at a recent city council meeting.  He hit it out of the park.  I am so proud of him.  We sure hope this bond passes.  If you are a St. George resident, please vote "yes."
