Barnes Offer Rejected

As expected, the Barnes Foundation has turned down the last gasp offer by Montgomery County to keep it from moving. The chairman of the Barnes "rejected the proposal Monday in a letter to a lawyer representing the county, saying the foundation had made binding commitments to Philadelphia to relocate .... He added that the 'decision is irreversible.'" The lawyer for the county "vowed he would continue the fight in Montgomery County Orphans' Court." The Philadelphia Inquirer has the story here.
