How can we rid Tauranga of this malignant disease?
Regularly it re-occurs causing friction, costing ratepayers money and using up ratepayers' and councillors' time. Consultants, architects and engineers rely upon it for regular fees.
The disease is the museum.
To date, sanity has overcome zealous advocates but at a continuing cost.
When will the council finally appreciate that the vast majority of rate payers do not want to pay for a museum? If they don't believe that then hold a binding referendum.
Museums themselves are archaic. Like encyclopaedias, they are redundant. They were sources of knowledge and a chance to see images and things past, distant or foreign.
Television, print media and the internet fulfils their roles in far more comprehensive, convenient and cost-effective ways.
Went did you last buy an encyclopaedia? Why do you want to pay for a museum?
P Dolden, Papamoa.

The very small number of moaning individuals see nothing wrong with dipping into the pockets of all others to have what they want, when they want and for as long as want. This demanded veritable self created and self benefiting gravy train does cost many millions every time it is reinvented with a new and more wonderful guise than last time. It needs to be banished once and for all, they like Libraries are not "essential" not required and for some 95% of the population will never be used or useful in any way.
