Lest we forget:

(CNSNews.com) - Time is running out for Arkansas preservationists who are battling to prevent the destruction of an African-American landmark located on the grounds of the future Clinton presidential library.

The city of Little Rock has boarded up the 103-year-old freight depot and stopped all historical fact-finding tours of the building. The Arkansas Supreme Court, meanwhile, ruled Thursday that the City of Little Rock had the right to condemn the property and take possession of it from the original owner Gene Pfeifer under eminent domain to make room for the Clinton library.

Here is a link to the article:

More of the Clinton legacy of self-aggrandizement

Well, they have to have some place to dump all those copies of Hillary's book that the DNC purchased.

OK - so the original "plan" for the Library only required that land be made available by the city of Little Rock for the library, and that tax money would not be used for the project.

Now, we know that tax dollars have been used for the project (anyone have a tally for the bill to taxpayers yet?). Now, in addition to the zone exceptions, the eminent domain siezure of land, and other ugly concessions, they now want a multi-million dollar tax break to help pay for the library?

Does a tax break/reimbursement not equal to taxpayer funding of the project?
