New Yorkers free admission and instruction are provided for in the trrms of laws and contracts. The 17 park institutions are part of a mid-1800's public-private partnership with rent-free use of City-owned park land and buildings. Other NYC cultural institutions do not have rent-free safrguards and hence charging a fee is what keeps the exhibition of their collections ongoing.

Single or the guardian/parent of three children, New Yorkers pay for our admission with our $1 Billion annual subsidy and we should not be required to pay a fixed or pay-what-you-wish fee amount for admission. IN SPANISH: Solteros o tutores/padres de tres niños, los neoyorquinos pagan nuestra admisión con nuestro subsidio anual de mil millones de dólares y no deberíamos estar obligados a pagar una tarifa fija o de pago por la admisión.

Once the study bill is passed and the facts of New Yorkers' free rights are determined, a report with recommendations will be done within one year of the bills' passage.

Free access for all applies to government-owned institutions, like the Smithsonian. For these 17, the collections are privately owned and New Yorkers' free access and instruction rights flow from provisions of laws applicable to a mid-1800's public-private partnership. The bills call for the study of the underlying laws and contracts of the public-private partnership, and the writing of a report with recommendations within one year of the bills' passage.

Free right for New Yorkers are contained in the laws and contract growing out of a mid-1800's public-private partnership. The study bill will have the controlling laws and contracts reviewed with a written report with recommendations due within a year of the bills' passage.

New Yorkers free rights have been on the books since the mid-1800's, only they are unenforced. The study bills provide for the study of the laws and contracts and the preparation of a report with recommendations within one year of the bills' enactment.

The mid-1800's public-private partnership predicted that New Yorkers would insist on reciprocity for surrendering valued park land and subsidizing the 17 park institutions -- and that reciprocity came in the form of free access and instruction.

The facts of the 17 park museums grow out of a mid-1800's public-private partnership [PPP] that does not apply to other non-PPP institutions. For $1 Billion in annual subsidies, New Yorkers should ...not ... be required to pay a fixed or pay-what-you-wish amount admission fee.

The laws and contracts spell out our provisions. We now need them codified and enforced. At $1 Billion in annual subsidies, New Yorkers' should not be deprived of our free rights reciprocity.

The provisions of the mid-1800's public-private partnership was and is intended for all New York City residents. Whether single or with 9 children, the obligation of the 17 institutions, in exchange for our $1 Billion in annual subsidies, is to provide free access and instruction. All New Yorkers should enjoy these institutions as park amenities and not the tourist venues they have become.
