Remove Doris Duke Charitable Foundation trustees for destroying Duke Estate in NJ .

The Issue

Doris Duke lived at her  Hillsborough estate  for most of her life, and she made it into a world class estate . After her death the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation was set up to manage her properties . Instead they sold off her valuables , and left the mansion to ruin, but spent over $50 million restoring barns  at the Hillsborough estate . The barns were made to support her mansion, the mansion was not built to support her barns, but the DDCF spent over $50 million restoring barns, while letting Miss Duke's personal residence fall into ruins as were her greenhouses . In addition Duke Farms has taken millions of dollars in grants and low interest loans from the state of NJ , despite being a $2 billion charity . We request an immediate stop order on the destruction of the mansion, and a removal of Michael Catania  of Duke Farms and  every trustee on the  Doris Duke Charitable Foundation .We request that a the trustees be replaced with extended family members, former workers, and current workers who will preserve her state as it was when she was alive . We also request  a full investigation of all financial transactions of the DDCF  and Duke Farms  . We request  a return of the Duke estate in Hillsborough, NJ to its former self , and and end to the deer hunts at the  estate .
