Kansas arts funding cut could hit state economy says advocates
Advocates argue Gov Brownback's plan to end funding for the Kansas Arts Commission and phase it into a nonprofit would harm the economy and jobs. Brownback contends the move saves 574000 in the next year while preserving federal support and shifting internal costs. The proposal estimates a net effect on NEA and partner funds and warns about broader impacts on businesses and tax revenue. The commission provides small grants for museum exhibits performances and operating costs across Kansas.
