For over two decades, over $75 million has been allocated for improvements to the state museum; however, hardly any of these funds have been utilized.
With a significant reduction in staff and the closure of facilities like the restaurant and gift shop, the museum's operations are drastically hampered.
Assemblywoman Patricia Fahy criticized the museum's long-standing lack of revitalization, indicating there's no excuse for having a subpar cultural offering in the state capital.
The museum’s financial woes are compounded by an ongoing investigation into a high-ranking official allegedly misappropriating funds, underlining a deeper systemic issue.
