ReplyDeleteWhy in the world do they need approximately 51 people to run about 5 museums. Have they not heard of volunteers? Tell Woosley to run a successful store and use the extra money made to pay some of her employees, just like the former mineral museum did.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it curious how the Legislature and the Governor move money around to keep the AHS getting millions, but just couldn't do it for the Dept. of Mines and Mineral Resources. The truth is they wanted to get rid of ADMMR, which the Gov. did by giving pink slips to all of the employees and then later the Legislature had to clean up the mess. But first she gave the Mining and Mineral Museum to the Historical Society so they could help her get rid of it. That's how they got the building. Oh yeah, AHS now has 3 employees for the non-existent Experience Museum. Don't expect to find out what's really happening--it's a secret!!!
