Laws and contract provide the facts but they have been obscured for 150 years, thus, the need for the joint study bill. Please ask friends and family to sign as well to show appreciation for the sponsoring legislators.

Laws and contracts spell out Nee Yorkers' free rights but the stewards of the institutions have in effect disavowed them and City oversight agencies have obstructed them. The study called fir in the mutual bills is vital to codifying and then enforcing Nee ayorkers' rightd. Ask families and friends to sign the Petition as wemm, to show appreciation to the sponsors doing work on our behalf.

Your vote for Mayor and City Council members is the best way to have a boice locally recognizing that State oversight is needed to eventually keep the game straight.

Yes. And mid-19th century Central Park Commissioner and President of the then-City school system Andrew Green made it a prerequisite for oublic funding that the provisions of the public-private partnership provide for free access and instruction. See the PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP section on the hyperlinked website and have family and friends sign the Petition to demonstrate support of the State Legislature sponsors' efforts on our behalf.

Yes. Direct and indirect subsidies now approximate $1 Billion annually with mire than $700 Millionnin free rent yet City leaders have obscured the facts of New Yorkers' free access right and authorize policies requiring New Yorkers to pay a fixed or pay-what-you-wish admission fee. Visit the website hyperlinked and urge your family and friends to sign the Petition as well, demonstrating support for the shared-bills' soonsors acting on our behalf.

According to the laws arising from a mid-1800's public-private partnership.

There are laws and contracts providing the terms of New Yorkers free rights. The study will codify the facts and make recommendations to ensure the institutions comply.

About time! As a lifelong New Yorker, senior citizen, and retired craftsperson I’ve always felt priced out of these institutions. It’s ironic that I made my living for 45 years as a potter and couldn’t justify the cost of more than one or two museum visits a year, and those usually as a host to friends visiting from out of town. Tourists see more of these institutions than those that actually live here do. I hope this passes!
