the film is a gem. it cites the lack of msm attention and support.

the philly news paper ran this:
The film erroneously implies that there was a $107 million state appropriation already available to the foundation before it filed its petition - and that this information was intentionally withheld from the court. In fact, the "appropriation" was only part of a publicly available wish list of projects in the Capital Assistance Budget. The dollar amount of this wish list represented almost 10 times what the commonwealth was authorized to spend. Of this wish list, $100 million was to be designated for a new building in Philadelphia and was not to help the foundation's chronic operating deficits in Merion. Nor does it change the fundamental reasons the Barnes went to court in the hopes of furthering its mission on a more stable and sustainable footing.
friends of the barnes and their version of the above refd 100m appropriation issue.
