Florida Arts Funding in Jeopardy

From the Broward County Cultural Division:

Each year the Arts has to claw its way back into the State Budget. In the past three years, the budget for Cultural Arts has been cut by 82%...far more than any other Department...hold on, haven't got to the depressing part yet.

Now the House wants to drop from $7.2 million to $2.7million...for all the museums, theatres, dance companies, fellowships, cultural facilities...and of course film festivals...$2.7 million for the whole State. Still not at the depressing part...here it comes, The Senate has indicated $0 for the
arts.

Please call Sen Chris Smith and register your support for the arts...and, to maintain the current funding level of $7.2 million.

Thanks!
