Unfortunately government should have no role in funding the Historical Society or other cultural institutions. Rockland County has some of the highest property taxes in the nation and Mr. Vanderhoef is correct in prioritizing government expenditures. My late uncle, a former Historical Society Trustee, left a mid-five figure gift in his will to the Society. THAT is the way the society should be funded - through donors who subscribe to its mission, not by the general taxpayer. Don't worry, since I don't live in Rockland County I won't email Mr. Vanderhoef this confirming opinion! Don Allison
