Freedom Center in talks to lean on Federal Government
Too many pigs suckling on state and local government
Forces Freedom Center to look to Washington
Forces Freedom Center to look to Washington
After sucking more than $70 million from the City of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and the State of Ohio with over-hyped attendance projections and financial performance (read: lies), the National Underground Freedom Center appears to have run out of luck getting more state and local funding.
Thus, it has now turned to the Federal government as a new teat to suckle for its endless operating losses and capital budget needs. The Federal Government, as everyone knows, is the source of endless largess and unlimited funds, and will hold no one accountable to silly standards like attendance and fiscal performance goals. The failed Freedom Center is brought to you courtesy of former Procter & Gamble Chairman and Current Walt Disney Corporation Chairman John Pepper, who of course could affored to endow the institution against the losses he created if he so chose.
I think it's great that the government has spent so much taxpayer money on this museum.
ReplyDeleteI'd specifically like to thank Leslie Ghiz for voting to give them $800,000 from city taxpayer funds. I'm very proud of her for that vote. For some reason Chris Monzel refused to vote for it, thinking that taxpayers shouldn't have to further fund this place.
