Cuts proposed for historic property
A tight 2008 city budget likely will put the squeeze on Janesville’s historic Lincoln-Tallman House, the city council learned Wednesday.
The museum’s subsidy drops 20 percent in the city’s proposed budget, from $65,300 to $52,264. By 2009, the Tallman House probably will get nothing from the city.
“It’s a nice, historic property. It’s important to the community, but I don’t know how to pay for it anymore,” Sheiffer told the council at a budget review session.
Sheiffer said giving the museum a subsidy next year would give the Rock County Historical Society a year to raise private funding.

It is a nice place, but hardly anyone goes there. If it is so great why aren't people lined up to tour it. Time to fish or cut bait.

Gee, maybe we could give some of the million we're putting into the stupid water park idea....
