Here in Atlanta, when ASO Management needs more money, they cut the
musicians' salaries and strip them of benefits.
In San Diego, the city council introduces new and exciting initiatives for
not only raising money, but building cultural awareness.
“The arts and culture community has consistently proven their value to the city,” said Victoria Hamilton, executive director of the city’s Commission for Arts and Culture, which administers the city’s arts funding programs. “And we have demonstrated that Penny for the Arts will give San Diego a great return on investment.”
Who are these people ...?

oh, can we write in All their names on our next election? Wouldn't it be amazing if our city could give even half that much support? What about Anderson? Isn't that his name? Wonder how much influence he might have. I DO think educating the public on how important the Art's are for the city, for business, for enjoyment and for our children is probably the the key to success. And a bit of thinking outside the box, couldn't hurt either!
