First there was the newly renovated Mark Twain Museum in Hartford that always seemed to be in the red. Despite large numbers of paying customers and generous corporate donations, its finance didn't add up until it was discovered that a trusted employee had embezzled over $200,000.
Now comes the news that the floating museum called the Amistad is tied up at a slip in Maine and about 8 million dollars is unaccounted for. Most of it is CT taxpayers money. What is it with museums and other peoples' money?
