D.K. Row, of the Oregonian, offers this insightful piece on the continuing woes of the Oregon Historical Society. Despite having been granted a generous $12 Million levy by Multnomah voters in the fall, it is not clear that the museum and library are in any better financial footing than they were before the vote. This is because OHS agreed to allow all Multnomah County residents in to the museum for free during the five years the levy is in place.
Political insider Kerry Tymchuk will take over the reigns at the OHS as of April. He has indicated that other cost cutting measures may need to be implemented, including selling part of the choice real estate that the museum occupies downtown.
