Skirball's Noah's Ark

I hope others write their representatives about this waste of tax-payers money!

Skirball Noah's Ark -

I heard on the CBS Evening News tonight that over $500,000 was provided for the building of the "Skirball’s Noah's Ark". This was added to the Transportation bill as an attachment.

Wow! This organization needed Federal tax dollars for building this in the name of education? I have to say I am amazed that this was passed, especially when there are public schools lacking funding to improve facilities and so forth, not mention "the Noah's Ark Exhibition" has nothing to do with our transportation infrastructure.

I hope you ask for this money back, or a part of the income collected weekly (Understand it is $16,000 weekly since they opened.); more than just taxes, more like 50% of the weekly income should be returned to the government if not all the $500,000.
