Trainspotter Posted November 5, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2007 George Pataki wasted $3M in tax dollars for pet project Former Gov. George Pataki wasted nearly $3 million in taxpayer money on a plan to build a women's museum that today is just an empty lot in lower Manhattan, a Daily News investigation has found. Dreamed up by a commission chaired by his wife, Libby, the Museum of Women burned through state subsidies by hiring dozens of consultants, including two fund-raisers who raised no money.
