Interior Secretary Ken Salazar endorses $600 million Latino museum plan ...a national museum devoted to American Latino art, history and culture next to the Capitol as part of the Smithsonian Institution.. Federal budget constraints could be the biggest hurdle. The commission’s report calls for building a $600 million museum with Congress providing half the funds and private donations covering the remainder.
Salazar, one of the highest ranking Hispanics in government, pledged to help raise millions of dollars to privately fund the museum’s construction — and, if necessary, more than half the cost.
