Sorry, we are way too busy paying 65,000 a year for a dog to chase geese :P

Senate Panel Faults Handling of Funds at Statue of Liberty
Excerpt:
>>>Mr. Bell's panel also concluded that the foundation, created in 1982 to raise money for the restoration of the Statue of Liberty after years of neglect, needed to reassess its mission, role and future, and take steps to improve its overall management structure.
In addition to concerns about salaries, the congressional investigators raised concerns about certain expenses the foundation had incurred, such as $45,000 a year for a dog to chase geese away on the islands, and a recent licensing agreement they said the foundation entered into allowing a company to market whiskey in bottles shaped like the Statue of Liberty.<<<<
