There are far more other Americans who have contributed much more to this country (USA) than Cesar Chavez. Spent the money elsewhere.
Thane Eichenauer
The CBO says that this bill will cost $250,000 over three years. If people really believe that Cesar Chavez is worthy of support and veneration then "the people" should donate to the effort. We the taxpayers should not be stuck with the bill for this campaign.
Joel Panzer
This is a worthwhile piece of legislation. To suggest that other Americans have contributed more to this Country that Cesar Chavez, without providing a context, misses the point. Preservation of the history of our country and those Americans that made historic contributions to our society are certainly worthy of study and, if merited, commemoration. Imagine what would happen if branches of the US Government (National Archives, Park Service, etc.) delegated this role to special interest groups, in terms of raising money, erecting national monumments and intepreting our Nation's history? Isn't that one of the basic roles and responsibilities of our government? If not, maybe other commenters should use their time and energy and lobby their elected representative to eliminate this "excessive waste" and restructure our government to close that National Park Service.
