Yes, This should not be any question. In fact I am writing my college paper on why it shouldn’t be cut. This funding is far more important than those paper pushers up at the capital think. They are making a HUGE mistake and will soon see a bigger economic downturn when it is put into affect.

I’ve been working with students in the Phillips Music Guild for eight years, and I’m so sad to see arts funding continue to decrease. The kids I work with love music so much, and it’s a shame that they can no longer get the instruments, music, stands, or practice time they need in class.

Government has no business funding Arts at all. There is adequate philanthropic private funding to support legitimate Arts initiatives.

I hold down a full time 100% commission job, countless volunteer commitments, and a good-sized home with tripled property taxes.

Sorry, that I don’t have a staff of editors paid on the taxpayer dime to make sure I never miss a typo or omission of a zero.

However, I am STILL the only person I know, who on the record, has volunteered time to help the city continue to advance the arts in Indianapolis during this budget cut.

The Arts crosses boundaries and connects the community. Keep public funding

Heads up.
Carefully read anything kneejerk Miss Ann assembles or distributes as “facts”.
After her idiotic math error on here last week…retracting slander that the Arts Council had “paid someone off” with a grant…admits she’s no journalist, yet occasionally pretends to be a hard-hitting fact-finder…she doesn’t even proofread her blog headlines.
It’s HAT TIP. Not HIT TIP.
She’ll fix it fast enough when she reads this.
But put your name on it and you own it, M.

“I hope you all will cut me some slack as I am not paid, am not a journalist, and am a volunteer doing my best to help my community.”
So, Melyssa, then your claim to credibility, exposes and dissemination of fact is…?

As a dance educator and artist, i can not express how important it is that we continue to have public funding for the arts. Please do not take this away from the community!

I like Greg’s poem.
Did anyone go to the committee meeting and hear the final decision?
