I have to agree with you here.
When I saw that a Sacramento developer had given $100 million to UOP my heart sank..
I just kept thinking of Robert and Margaret Modavi's gift to build the Modavi Center in Davis or the Gallo family, building the Gallo Center for the Performing Arts for Modesto..
For once a Sacramento developer has a load of cash to hand out, and he and his wife intend to gift the entire $100 million to Stockton.
That's not to criticize the generosity of their gift. In fat what a wonderful thing to do. It's unfortunate that more people don't do the same in the Sacramento area.
But what a missed opportunity for Sacramento..
$100 million would have established quite an endowment for the Arts in Sacramento; or better yet, built a perfroming Arts Center on par with Modavi or Gallo Centers..
