Three former Pataki administration employees have formed a corporation to try to raise money to establish a Peekskill museum named after the former governor, The Buffalo News is reporting.
Here’s the top of their story:
ALBANY — A corporation will raise money to create a museum named after former Gov. George E. Pataki.
Former employees of the Pataki administration formed the corporation, and a committee was created to establish the Governor George E. Pataki Leadership and Learning Center.
The not-for-profit entity is seeking to raise funds for a museum to be chartered by the state Board of Regents.
Officials close to Pataki say the center, to be opened on property now under rent in Peekskill, will be geared to helping young people get a flavor of the importance of public service. The idea gained momentum earlier this year during the scandal involving former Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer’s ties to a prostitution ring. Pataki aides say that scandal did not help with the notion of public service in the eyes of the public.

Don’t touch even a nickel of the public’s money!
What ed (the original- accept no substitutes!) said. That should include not giving any tax breaks for it, either, since that sneaks the $$ out of our pocket.
Stick it down near Chuck & Oley’s Tavern. Better yet, make it part of the Tavern itself, so at least we’ll have a reason to visit it.
