Why Doesn't Lebanon Have a Skatepark?

I have lived in Lebanon, Oregon for almost twelve years, and have participated in at least two distinct efforts to get a skatepark in town. There always seems to be...well, I shouldn't really publicize here all of the speculation going around as to why a town the size of Lebanon can't get it together to give the kids (and adults!) a place to enjoy a healthy and wholesome sport together. Lots of towns much smaller than Lebanon have pulled it together, and it's about time Lebanon gets a skatepark.
