"Museum has long history of IMAX promises"

Thanks to the Journal Star Editorial Board (JSEB) for running my editorial "In the Spotlight" Saturday. As usual, I write too many words so they edited it a bit but also added some comments such as my saying "it would be best to stop this project now than to see its funding cut back."

That statement comes from the contract with the county that says "if funding goals are not met, the museum will need to cut back on overhead and operating expenses." If that happens, there goes another "Amaze" as Richerson said we will differ from the financially strapped Wichita, Kansas museum as Peoria will keep changing exhibits.

Changing exhibits are quite costly.

Also left out were Koehler and Leitch touting an IMAX theater in the Peoria Riverfront Museum (PRM) in the Inter/Business (IB) local news magazine.

Look for my "letter to the editor" (LTE) in the September issue of the Community Word.
