The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is once again under the spotlight after a manager failed to consult a collections committee before purchasing a 21-star flag whose description as a rare banner marking Illinois ' 1818 admission to the Union is disputed.The flag's acquisition through an online auction for more than $15,000 precipitated an investigation by Illinois ' Office of the Executive Inspector General about money used for the purchase.
The committee vote would have been closer had the acquisition not been a done deal, Yeakel said. The museum fired Yeakel May 6, citing his poor performance and rules violations, but he blamed his 'no' vote. Wills declined comment.Yeakel said he told investigators with the Executive Inspector General that the flag purchase improperly sidestepped committee concurrence. They asked him if he knew of fraud or abuse in the transaction and whether King Hostick funds were tapped.
