Museums' fate up to tax votes - East Valley Tribune - MSNBC.com

Museums' fate up to tax votes - East Valley Tribune - MSNBC.com: "Now, there's a very real possibility that the museum will have to shut its doors, leaving the fate of its 60,000 artifacts uncertain.

The Arizona Museum for Youth, on Robson only a short walk away, is facing the same possibility. Both are on the list of recommended cuts Mesa may have to make if tax proposals on the city's May 16 ballot fail.

According to the city's list, if a proposed property tax fails, hours at both museums will be significantly reduced and programs will be cut. If a proposed sales tax also is turned down, the museums could be closed as early as September."
