Hi Taxacomers,

In a day and age when museums of any kind are having their financial
support cut back, the following front-page headline from the Edmonton 
Jounal, Edmonton, Alberta, is a nice to see:

"Museum set to receive $200-million upgrade".  A subheadline
reads, "Spectacular new wing features jutting desgin, panoramic
views of river valley".

The continuation on page A3 reads,

"Director knew what he didn't want", 
and,
"Ostentatious 'signature' design would send wrong message about
use of taxpayers' dollars, Bruce McGillivray says".

The museum is the Royal Alberta Museum.
