Ouch! Gov. Malloy’s budget proposes slashing arts, culture, tourism grants by $2.35 million. Beardsley Zoo would be whacked for $354,350. But fear not….
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.
