I am thrilled to see that after what I'm sure can be categorized as an avalanche of e-mails from every corner of Durham's diverse population expressing their dismay that our cherished institution The Museum of Life and Science was taking the extreme low road of openly siding with the sleazeball Billboard industry, you have been obligated to write a letter of "clarification".

Unfortunately your letter does not accurately portray the events surrounding the Museum's appalling letter to Mayor Bill Bell in which the Museum openly expressed how "they will benefit" from a change in the ordinance and to make sure that the Mayor considers "the opportunities for non profits with the ordinance change". By anyone's standards this is a clear endorsement.

Subject: Clarification from Museum of Life and Science

Distinguished Members of the Durham City Council:

I am writing to address some confusion and misunderstanding about the Museum’s stance on the billboard ordinance under consideration by the Durham City Council. An article in Independently Weekly on June 30 correctly stated that the Museum has “not taken a position” on the billboard ordinance, but the article apparently has caused some confusion among its readers.

Marion Lambert (PAC 5), Harold Chestnut (PAC 4) and Wanda Boone, (PAC 1) voted in favor of Fairway’s proposal."

Lisa - you left out the part where Marion Lambert was not even authorized to represent PAC 5 at this meeting. Since her vote was invalid, the City-Wide PAC did not authorize an endorsement at the meeting in question.

It's that type of advertising that'll really bring Durham to the next level
