Deer resistant plant signs are too political but sunscreen dispensers are not.

I can't make this stuff up. Comedians must think Mt. Lebanon is a gold mine for material. Here's the latest in "bit material." Mt. Lebanon commissioners have approved a sunscreen dispenser for Main Park. Dermatology worker gets public sunscreen dispenser installed at Mt. Lebanon park 

I think it is admirable that our municipality is concerned with skin cancer.

“It seemed like a good thing to do for the public to increase awareness of skin cancer and to provide materials that would help prevent that serious disease,” said Rudy Sukal, acting director of Mt. Lebanon's Public Works Department.

Mr. Sukal should be more concerned with dead trees that create unsafe conditions in our local parks.

Will Mt. Lebanon be providing signage that sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours without factoring in humidity or sweat? Is the municipality creating a false sense of security? Some sunscreens have cancer causing ingredients. Will there be a list of ingredients posted? What about allergic reactions? What happens if the dispenser is empty and someone gets sunburn? Will we be sued? The FDA has regulations concerning sunscreens. Is anyone in the municipality qualified to recommend or establish which sunscreens meet these regulations? Then there are the ecosystems that the prokill people are concerned with. Did you know that sunscreens must be "reef safe?" I sold sunscreen for a living. Did you know that sunscreen is considered by the FDA as an over the counter drug? Is Mt. Lebanon permitted to dispense OTC drugs?

With all this concern, will Mt. Lebanon be posting warning signs at the toxic turf? The public needs to be aware of the potential dangers of tire crumb rubber. We must be consistent, Folks.
