I agree that people come from out of state and other countries and utilize the archives.I have seen it myself first hand.Ancestral road trips bring people to our area.Its sad to say but what else does Montgomery County have to offer these days But history.Our area has an incredibly rich history that needs to be shared,we need to promote it not sabotage it .Money is made by the people that cannot make the trip via phone and mail for information these needs will not be able to be met while so under staffed.I think it is ridiculous that money will be wasted on things such as a bridge to no where in Amsterdam and our local treasure will be neglected.I understand in these hard economic times cuts need to be made but in the end I think these cuts are going to be detrimental to our community.
