So will their corpses, when the pool heats up during the summer, and the oxygen levels drop and they suffocate/cook. If fish were a solution to this issue, they'd already have been put there years ago.

And by that, I mean, I do not feel so honored.

What a waste of taxpayer funds.

It's only been 10 days since the Reflecting Pool has been refilled. TEN DAYS! Can you imagine what it'll look like by the end of the summer?
