Just keeps getting better for the Arizona Historical Society. Probably the largest agency self inflicted wound of all Arizona history. All avoidable too. All the cause of one ego driven and lazy museum director.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone actually made a count of how many times the director has actually left her office?
The Senate vote was very encouraging and perhaps this year we can actually right the 5-year-old wrong surrounding the failed 5C's, Centennial, Experience Museum fiasco. Sen.Griffin's bill gives back to our science students and teachers what should never have been taken from them. Here's to showing them that the legislative process does work in AZ!!
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the AHS Board minutes. They stated that attendance at the Phoenix (Papago Park) museum was down 7% over last year. Just keeps getting better!! Shameful.
ReplyDeleteWhen both facility cost and annual State budget allocations are considered, each visitor costs taxpayers hundreds of dollars. How long will that be allowed to continue?
DeleteI wonder if the figure includes the rentals and meetings and library researchers? If that is true then there are very few actual museum/tourist visitors. Then the costs per "visitor" would be way higher.
DeleteI bet Dr. Ann Woosley can see this coming her way. She caused all of this. I have no sympathy for her and any employees who thought this was a good idea. She deserves whatever she gets and whatever the agency gets from all of this.
ReplyDeleteI can just think what the next budget hearings will look like for the AHS. They Legislators have a long memory.
