As a former employee of the Ohio Historical Society I read this press
release with much sadness.  It would seem that with Ohio's Bicentennial that
the powers that be in state government could not have picked a worse time to
do such a thing.  I would hope museum professionals in Ohio contact their
elected officials about the folly of such actions.
In closing I would like to state a personal opinion.  This is the kind of
subject matter I believe should be discussed more on this list, especially
with it happening in so many institutions across the country.  The personal
attacks on people's opinions that have been on this list, etc. of late are
not very professional or appropriate.  This list would do well to study some
of the guidelines for postings of other dist. lists such as the one for
Conservation.
