Yes, I am along with the Germans, Dutch, Italians, etc., etc…but I only raped and pillaged Iraq for you for your family’s oil Ms. Slosum. Hope you appreciate my efforts to provide energy resources for your family from the end of the barrel of an M-4 carbine rifle. Takes one to know one. My hands are bloody, Mr Rices hands remain unsullied. He is a bitch. I am a man. If that scares you, move back to Europe. Thank you. Mayor D’Souza

For what the county is spending subsidizing this outfit, they can afford to build a climate-controlled vault to store their stuff in. No excuse for what Kevin describes.

As for art museum and theater, those are private fund-raising operations, not taxpayer funded ones. Their regular public subsidies are identical to the base subsidy for the history center — $1 a year to use city property.

Cite some sources dude! cite some sources!

He is a state worker as a former firefighter with a pension!! Holy shoot NIMBY status.

Thank you. I thought “Ricky2” was being flip. My apologies. Is the head of the SLO History Center really a fabric artist and not a qualified professional?

Complaining without thoughtful examination of the issue, lack of respect for others, lack of EVIDENCE, lack of real concern about finding a solution, is called bitching my friend. My job is done here. – Mayor D’Souza

clarkdsouza. Hmmm….. Mr. Souza. Are you referring to the Spanish and Portuguese Souzas who “politely raped and pillaged” throughout all of South America and then established a presence in California? Is that the “European Whiteness” you’re talking about?

Honestly Kevin Rice…if you are so concerned about your version of our local history, stop asking why and blaming everyone else for your petty concerns. All history is valuable regardless of the cultural perspective. So roll up your goddam sleeves and start raising money for this noble cause…be a Jedi, or continue to remain petulant. Good luck bro.

Digitally scan whatever you feel is worth it and let the stuff naturally recycle. I get that Kevin Rice is polarizing for those who pay taxes and those who depend upon government, but polarization aside, I am curious what we (tax payers) are getting for our tax dollars in ANY agency or endeavor. To not be frustrated is a reveal. To be angry at “the messenger” is pretty small and petty, totally expected from the non-producing, government faithful.

Whether or not your interpretation of history is accurate, it does not satisfy the concern that tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars are being misappropriated. If the documents are worthless, why is tax money being spent? If tax money is being spent, why are the records not protected?

The executive director receives a substantial salary, and it is her job to ensure taxpayer subventions are utilized for their stated purpose. I did offer a donation. But you seem to know everything already.

Amen!
