Thanks, Ken for covering the arts & culture situation. Block granting is alive and well. Will see how smaller community arts organizations without a lot of grantwriting support fare in the “who can out compete the other race” for arts & museum dollars. I fear that even our landmark arts & culture organizations will suffer.

What? Prove you get results if you want taxpayer dollars? Oh yeah! Music to my cash-strapped ears. Was this our version of congressional earmarks? Sure sounds like it.

There are news-media contacts who are assigned several senators or House members; committee employees; policy analysts; reception and administrative people.

There are a ton of these so-called “caucus employees” making anywhere from $40-80k. What exactly do these people do that is ‘productive’ and beneficial vis-a-vis the average CT citizen?
