We don’t rally

Grammar is a funny little thing.
Preserve Ramapo has sent out a notice to its supporters announcing an Open Space Rally tomorrow night to push the town to dedicate open space purchases as parkland. Ramapo Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence has said it’s not necessary, because the way the open space was purchased already gave it protection. A Journal News editorial, Belts and suspenders on open space, urged the extra step of parkland dedication by the town.
So, where’s the problem? Read the following excerpt from a Preserve Ramapo e-mail:
“… Why does St. Lawrence continue to refuse to dedicate these properties?
… You can ask the Supervisor yourself tomorrow night (Wednesday Oct. 10) at the Open Space Rally at Ramapo Town Hall. Join Preserve Ramapo and the Journal News who insist that the dedication of these lands makes sense.â€? (I added the bold.)
Whoa! We don’t rally. So, maybe it’s just poor sentence structure. A Journal News editorial did back the parkland designation. Or maybe it’s an intended implication that The Journal News is part of this rally.
If you are interested in the rally, it’s at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow, Ramapo Town Hall on Route 59.
If someone is there from The Journal News, it will just be to cover it, not to participate.
