After the guy dumped dirt on the memorial, I feel like this is pretty poor optics even if it’s something the City needs to move forward on right now.

    if nothing else, perhaps a federally funded search or private funding?

    Private funding? Who would possibly fund this exercise?

      No single entity that I’m aware of would but I was hoping that a number of charitable foundations and NGOs with large endowments might be able to come together.

      Even if this did happen, but then they couldn’t come up with the full price tag, it might still be the case that their substantial contributes might be enough to get public funding for the remainder.

      I guess the point is that this isn’t even being considered as an option. It’s just a flat no, we won’t even talk about it anymore sort of denial.
