It is very short sighted to close revenue generating sites/increasing hotel tax bases etc to save $2 million dollars. Do not close any of the historic sites. Thank you.
I support this petition. State Historic Sites are an important learning tool for our citizens. They can even be revenue sources! This is a shortsighted decision.
I support this petition. I am a tour operator and travel to MANY state historic sites, particularly in Springfield. Tourists provide revenue for the State! 2009 is Lincoln's Bicentennial! What are you thinking??!!
As a professor of Architecture History who was born and raised in Springfield, I can not emphasize enough the importance of this building to me personally and to the profession at large. I wholeheartedly support this petition.
