CULTURAL AFFAIRS: Nevada museums cut hours this week
CARSON CITY -- Faced with a one-third cut in his budget, Department of Cultural Affairs Director Michael Fischer did what any realistic business manager would do: He cut hours of museums and libraries, laid off some employees and reduced the work week of many others to 32 hours. "I feel horrible for the people working in the museums," said Fischer, who quit a lucrative dental business to head a state agency because of his love of history. "There just wasn't enough money. If there had been $2.5 million more, we wouldn't have had to lay off anybody or reduce hours."
