Can a nationally significant structure be trusted to private hands which demands a commercial return? Leasing it to a reputable Casino or Hotel operator rather than allowing them to own is preferable. Private ownership has not exactly been kind since 1969. Control by trustees on behalf of public ownership that has a clear,unambiguous function of indefinite preservation is my idea of the way to ensure it's future.
