Arizona botched the "centerpiece" of its centennial celebration. In the process, they destroyed a top rated existing museum and its K-12 earth science education programs. A detailed, chronological record of the fiasco is available on the blog Mineral Museum Madness.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717447541461745969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30940686.post-52821966448487426992011-04-10T18:20:47.136-07:002011-04-10T18:20:47.136-07:00Arizona is looking backward, not forward.

This can support jobs in the environment, hydrology, mining, mineralogy, geology and other critical future careers. <br /><br />The 5 Cs are a joke for the future. It's too bad Arizona lives in the past. This is typical of the uneducated and short-sighted. <br /><br />Denisedenisehttp://lunarjoy.yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30940686.post-1054078317186696462010-06-03T22:29:30.116-07:002010-06-03T22:29:30.116-07:00This is the problem with AZ..

Why did the Freeport member of the Centennial Commission direct the ADMMR to remove the Governors presentation from the ADMMR website? What is the budget, and how much has been collected thus far?

Furthermore, how much has already been paid to Gallagher & Associates for that artwork you posted on the blog? That money should not have been spent at a time when essential services are being cut. Is no one protecting the taxpayers pocketbook?Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717447541461745969noreply@blogger.com
