Our State Budget will be determined next Wednesday, June 3, at midnight.
As you may recall, the original State Budget Proposal called for significant and devastating cuts in the arts and culture sector. Although the current Recommended State Budget includes some restoration of arts funding, right now legislators are facing enormous pressure from the Governor's office to scale back this restored funding in order to minimize the tax increases required to pay for it.
That's where you come in. Please help us to advocate for the arts, and arts and culture state funding, before the State Budget goes to a vote, a process that begins in earnest after tomorrow.
Please continue to support funding for the arts -
at pre-cut, restoration levels.
Names and numbers are listed below for your convenience.
Thank you, from all of us here at the Bruce, for joining us in advocating for the arts.
