Read from the bottom up and it may make sense. Open to any opinions.

The state needs someone to live in the house to protect against vandalism and should, I think, be paying Sisk. The state would probably have a hard time finding anyone else willing to live in the Old Slave House, much less to pay rent for the privilege. Gallatin County doesn't have a hot rental market, after all. -------------------5------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Cody Sanders To: wavila@erols.com Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 6:21 PM Subject: Re: Old Slave House I see, but if the state is having financial problems why are they allowing Sisk to live in the house rent-free? So the previous owner gets to live in the white elephant? I'm not sure I accept this one.

If it's okay with you, I'll post your comments on the Gallatin RW mail list and see if anyone has any answers.

The State of Illinois paid half a million dollars to purchase the old slave house and are allowing the former owner to reside there rent- free. From the message you received it sounds like the house will remain closed to the public indefinitely. Tax payers why aren't you yelling foul? The state hired a professor to research the history of the house and write a report. Wonder what they plan to do with it, or did they ever have plans? What happened to the three rascals or whatever they were? Thanks for posting that information. Glad I don't pay taxes in that state anymore! C. D.
