Mineral Museum advocates "lawyering up"


Supporters of the former Arizona Mining & Mineral Museum are "lawyering up" to prevent conversion of the facility into the Arizona Experience centennial musem, according to a story in the new issue of Phoenix Magazine.

Reporter Dolores Tropiano doesn't go into detail but says opponents of the centennial museum [right, credit, Arizona Centennial Commission] "want to stop construction of the new museum through legal action, turning public opinion against it and drying up contributions."

She opines that for some, "recent happenings at the Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum in Downtown Phoenix have been as polarizing as a certain local sheriff."
