From the transcript
I was thrilled that there was a community college, uh, the Alaska State Museum, and the library down the street. For me, education has always been a number one priority. The city museum is a treasure and perhaps overlooked by many of the residents and too far to walk for many of the tourists. The assembly proposes to cut $261,000, and that's like a 39% reduction, I think. I recently heard a presentation by Beth Weigel, the, um, director right now, and I was so impressed by all the programming which will probably go away with a cut.
