| Message | We oppose. Its already bad enough that any public funds have to be wasted on museums. This would be costly and perhaps warrant an increase in nation income tax. |

| Message | If all funding is left to the local government's perhaps they will have to increase the level of their taxation on the populace. Museum's are vital and must be funded. This bill simply give's aid to local governments to fund these institutions. |
