[QUOTE="jdagreek, post: 2085698, member: 14916"] Again, you are just trying to make goofy points. You are just wrong as the money to the Arts Council doesn't go directly towards "arts education." It goes to a council that has a huge overhead budget that takes a significant slice of that $4 million state appropriation. Get your facts straight. It is local public schools that provides "art education" to our children. You are just one of those folks that screams to cut other programs then screams like bloody murder when someone wants to cut yours. This is why governments can't make budget cuts which translate to lower spending etc. This state has a budget balance Amendment in it's Constitution. So, when tax revenues decrease then budgets are cut and funding to some programs are cut. You should be screaming at the recent roughly 20% budgets cuts for all of state government than the Oklahoma Arts Council Com'on, now please enlighten us on what those other BS programs that you recommend the legislature cuts while leaving the "pork" funding to the Oklahoma Arts Council in place. Please, I beg you to tell us. :laughup: [/QUOTE]
