I can hear Phoenix city leaders saying “Deficit?  What deficit?”  Arizona Republic:  “Skateboarders will have a fifth plaza to roll up and down ramps in Phoenix, city officials said Tuesday.”  The story does not mention how much the park will cost.  Perhaps the city leaders consider skateboard parks as just another form of the much loved mass transportation money pit.
