Letter to the editor: Nothing being done about horrible graffiti

It has now been nearly two weeks since conversation has been initiated and still no paint on the dugouts.

I am hoping the right people read this letter to help me make a change, not only for the face of Prince George but for the community as well.

Recently walking to work, I passed by a baseball field that my son used to play at and noticed extremely offensive graffiti painted all on the back side of the dugout completely visible to all that go by. I was immediately in contact with the local baseball association and since been back and forth with the city on getting this painted over.

It has now been nearly two weeks since conversation has been initiated and still no paint on the dugouts, even after offering to paint it myself! Where is the city pride, the responsibility to make everyone feel welcome and safe, especially the youth that want to play, be active and be outside?

Shame on Prince George for being aware of this and allowing it. I am buying paint tomorrow.
