5:36 pm
the problem if in fact the fields are breaking down? >> either they were completely unaware of the issue or they have been reassured that it is not happening here. but it very well might be happening here. really the time to ask your school board about your field is right now because those full replacement warranties are expiring everyday. >> i know that a lot of times it is a hotly contested issue to get these approved because they cost so much money. >> it's a big investment for municipalities and schools. >> this is a real eye opener. >> thank you. hamilton was awarded this year's pulitzer praise for drama. it is of course the story about founding father alexander hamilton with a diverse cast by storm. it is described as a landmark musical who is both contemporary and irresistible.
