Fredericksburg’s Free Lance Star rips into Doug Wilder today and wonders, “Are you sure you want to cut in, Richmond?”
The editorial comes after a Richmond Times-Dispatch article yesterday implying that Richmond officials want to bring the museum to “the Holy City’s trendy Shockhoe [sic] Bottom.” After highlighting the many problems plaguing the museum project and their main source, Mr. Wilder, it suggests Fredericksburg would be better off to cut its losses. Laced with sarcasm, the article has to make Richmonders wonder if we are willing to take on a project that has been failing for several years.
UPDATE: More information from the Free Lance Star. “Richmond Del. Delores McQuinn says she’s willing to do whatever it takes to move the potential museum to Richmond.”
