Kansas arts funding draft aims for 1.3 million in matching grants
Arts supporters push a plan to secure 1.3 million in federal and regional matching grants after Kansas lost state funding in 2011. They seek extra funds via specialized license plates, noting these are fundraisers not public financing, with four current check offs raising 415,511 last year. Brownback favors 2018 arts funding from gambling revenues, merging arts and film commissions, while critics warn added check offs dilute state funds.
