Park plan’s delays raise furor in Covington

The plan was simple: renovate a park on Covington's east side. Now those renovations have created a controversy tinged with race and class. The size of a city block at Eighth and Greenup streets, Randolph Park's picnic tables, basketball courts, pool and shelter have provided the backdrop for summer memories in the East Covington neighborhood.
