Let the Olympic flame die out

Richmond - The Editor, "Better places for museum millions," Letters, Jan. 24.Besides wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on "sister cities," Richmond City Council have found yet another way to waste taxpayers' money by spending six million dollars building an Olympic Museum to keep the "legacy alive"? I have to agree, Richmond put on a pretty good show, with lots of excitement during our winter Olympics, but it is over so let it go.Apparently, the few places who has such a museum have very few visitors.The people I have talked to in our neighborhood were not interested in visiting such a venture.I also agree with letter writer Diane Hartley in that such an expenditure must call for a plebiscite.Brink NielsenRichmond
