After last night’s discussion about the future of the museum I am interested in what you all think. It is my understanding that $ 300,000 was requested for this year and $ 500,000 was requested for each year for the next few years. Do you think the museum should be turned over to an independent group who does not have to answer to the city council? If you believe it should be turned over to the independent group should our city tax dollars continue to “supplement” the museum? Or should they lease the property and pay for the salaries and work that needs to be done with their own funds? Or should the city maintain control, hire someone else and open the doors to the public using the admissions and donations as funding to finish the museum over a period of time?
Discussion anyone?
