As expected, his answer was no answer. And always, it seems, with the same excuse, the lack of economic resources. But what resources are needed? Is that a museum director, his assistant or concierge will be discounted from your payroll day on which the Museum remains closed? That tagline is already hackneyed, Mr. Mayor.
