The loss of the legacy of the TMM is a serious step backwards for Texas. Their curatorial staff, museum staff, public interface, scientist interface, specimen collection and more are used on a daily basis by scientists and citizens across the state and around the world. Their cave specimen collection is irreplaceable.

The museum is a valuable scientific resource, and its collections have formed the basis for hundreds of important publications in taxonomy, biodiversity work, and cave faunal studies. The loss of neglect of these collections would be tragic.

I don't live there, but I think closing any museum is a shame. There's so little left for our children and adults to enjoy of life. Find another way to trim the budget.

Losing the museum would be a huge step backward. It is hard to believe it is even an option.

I loved this museum as a child and enjoy it now when it is even better. My children loved it, too. Now it is one of my grandchildrens' favorite indoor places to go. Austin has so few museums, it would be a real shame if we should lose this one. Please find a way to fund it!

Some of this material is irreplaceable: priceless, not to be destroyed.

Please find another way to save this money, as museums are a valuable resource for so many people.

Have each of the politicians cut their salaries instead of cutting this budget.

Established resources that support STEM learning cannot happen - we need innovative ways of outreach, reach out to your consituency and we can help solve the challenges.

There are too many polititions who apparently do not belive in education or science. Museums such as this are needed.

We need settings like this one to make science accessible to kids and community.

Closing such a long-standing and valuable museum is an affront to the scientific community and the people of Texas. Blocking access of research associates to collections is inexcusable. Please reverse this unconscionable policy and not only restore to the people of Texas what is rightfully theirs, but is also a part of the national and international communities.
