A series of open planning meetings about the money have been scheduled: Legacy Amendment Planning Meetings With passage of the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy, the Council for Minnesota Archaeology, Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums, Minnesota Historical Society, and Preservation Alliance of Minnesota will convene an initial conversation with the field. Join them at one of three venues: * 7 p.m. Wednesday December 10, 2008: Nicollet County Historical Society * 7 p.m. Thursday December 11, 2008: Stearns History Museum * 3 p.m. Monday December 15, 2008: Historic Fort Snelling But seriously, while I appreciate the effort to solicit free information from me, if you’re truly concerned about what’s going to happen with all the money from the Legacy Amendment sales tax, then I suggest you work to inform yourselves.

If I remember correctly, I heard that a panel will be administrating these funds, which would include legislators? And one of the names mentioned was a legislator I know of, and this person knows nothing, nothing, about art! Maybe I heard incorrectly, it was on the radio and I've yet to access any information on how these funds are to be used to extend the arts in Minnesota. I thought these new funds would be dumped into the Minnesota State ARts Board. Whatever. But what about the new sales tax dedicated funding from the State?
