Don't Sell The MURAL!

This idea won't die: a state Senator Matt McCoy, suggested selling Mural the famed Jackson Pollock painting at the University of Iowa to once again defray the costs of these tough economic times. (Specifically, McCoy wanted to 'keep student tuition low' which is stupider than selling the painting to pay for flood recovery costs.)

Happily, the Governor said NO! (To that idea... hooray!)

But if you want to email Senator McCoy and tell him that student tuition was going up anyway and it's still going to go up because we don't fund education properly in this country- and be sure to mention that selling Mural is to help cover that is spectacularly dumb because $200 million (if we could get that) will keep tuition low for about ten seconds or so and then it'll go right back up again.

So yeah, if you want to tell him what an idiot he is, email him here.
