    What is even more galling. (none / 0) (#4)

    In Oakland County, here is what their art authority had to say on the matter under Section 2:

    "2.4 Privileges to Oakland County Residents.

    While the parties acknowledge and agree that the primary benefit to be received by the residents of Oakland County under this Agreement is the DIA's continued performance of its obligations under the Operating Agreement in accordance with Section 2.1 above, the DIA agrees that it will also provide the residents of Oakland County with the following additional benefits and privileges.

    1. Free Admission.

    The DIA will provide unlimited, free museum admission for all residents of Oakland County, including self-guided student field trips."

    In Macomb, here's what they said under Article 5:

    "6. The Authority's contract with the art institute services provider shall include preferences or benefits for the residents of Macomb County, if the electors in Macomb County
    approved the tax levied by the Authority. Preferences or benefits include, but are not limited to, waiver of admission fees for residents of Macomb County, discounted membership fees, discounts for school children and access to educational programs."

    Not just some fees.

    It's very cut and dry. No wiggle room on the DIA's part.

    I just don't happen to see elected officals in either Macomb or Oakland County doing anything about it, other then paying lip-service to it.
