Senators say arts decision was too hasty
Kansas Senate leaders contend Gov Brownback acted quickly in ordering the abolition of the Kansas Arts Commission amid a 500 million revenue shortfall. They note Brownback had 30 days to issue executive orders and fear the move could hinder arts funding and programs statewide. The plan would transfer duties to the Kansas State Historical Society and create a new nonprofit Kansas Arts Foundation Inc. with seed funding of 200000 dollars for the next fiscal year.
