Arts funding in Kansas must stay strong for communities
The editorial argues against Gov. Brownback’s plan to abolish the Kansas Arts Commission and replace it with a nonprofit. It cites the KAC’s annual funding of about $800,000 plus over $1.2 million in matching federal funds, and warns that cuts would harm rural communities, tourism, and local economies by reducing quality of life and jobs in the arts. It urges lawmakers to reject the plan and preserve state support for arts programs.
