Raleigh downtown art Project
So you want to build a cool art sculpture in downtown Raleigh and some dude has given you $2.5 million to do it. No problem, right. We'll not really, you see you can't really do a cool art sculpture for $2.5 million, everybody knows this. You need, say $4.2 millions to do it right. At least if your a Spanish artist named Jaume Plensa.
So now the tax payers have to pay for it. Don't worry about the fact that we don't have enough schools and are having to all go year round next year, no don't worry about that. Worry about the poor artist who ONLY has $2.5 million to build a sculpture. THAT's the real tragedy here.
I heard some lady on the news say she was going to leave Raleigh if it wasn't approved that the tax payers pay for her sculpture. Fine. Leave. You can go live in Somalia or Rwanda or Iran for all I care, but get out of Raleigh.
