Workers are busy arranging exhibits, beginning the last phase of landscaping and addressing other final details before the center, a tribute to the 43rd president, is unveiled to an invitation-only audience April 25 and to the general public May 1.
The reality is a 226,560-square-foot center that houses a library and a museum, presidential archives, a public policy institute, the Bush foundation and a 15-acre park, all honoring Bush's two terms in office.
Officials haven't revealed the center's cost, although reports show that the foundation raised around $300 million in private donations for the center and that fundraising continues for public policy programs at the institute.
$300 million--that's a lot of "My Pet Goat"s and crayons..............

Surprising that the university chancellor and faculty don't recognize this and let this deplorable act happen in the first place. What a disgrace.
