After cutting back on an annual flower farming in parks city, the capital city of vibrant Colorado perhaps see a little less shade in the concrete jungle.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has asked all capital sections to locate and implement budget breaks of at least 10 % as part of a city plan to find millions to address the country’s persistent illegal immigration issue. That includes Denver Parks and Recreation, which is largely responsible for the maintenance of the lawns.  ,
Just Civic Center Park, with it’s about 14, 000 square foot of shrubs, will be completely planted this season. According to past reports, Washington Park and City Park are losing the most plants this time.  ,
However, Denver Recreation Centers have been forced to reduce operating days from seven to six days per week, so flowers are n’t the only component of this picture. ” Rotating closures” are expected to occur at the Department of Motor Vehicles, which the city believes could save an additional$ 5 million.  ,
In February, Johnston warned town council the immigration issue in Denver had expense$ 180 million. After the city closed four of its 10 immigrant sheltering facilities, that number dropped to$ 120 million.  ,
But, this number appeared extraordinary and the overall cost to the city perhaps only tactic$ 55.5 million, according to the Common Sense Institute, a Denver based think- tank.  ,
How much money may be saved by avoiding the flowerbed farming?  ,
