Thanks, Jesse! We all knew we’d have to cut the budget somewhere, but I can’t believe they’re taking this opportunity to try to abolish the Virginia Commission for the Arts entirely. Virginia would be the only state without its own arts agency, not to mention the loss of federal funds received by the VCA, the monies pumped into Virginia’s economy from these grants (what do they think the VCA does with the money, eat it?). Surveys show every dollar spent on the arts is a $5 to $7 return on business. Short-sighted indeed. Thanks for a great post.

That was very easy! Everyone please petition your state senators and representatives! This legislation is wrong for us!
