Comments for State arts community rallies against cuts at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.theind.com Tue, 18 Jun 2013 04:56:24 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/10304-state-arts-community-rallies-against-cuts#comment-26487 Seems to me more important, and actual responsibilities of state government, would be to shore up the unfunded liability in the retirement system, try to fund Higher Ed and other education responsiblities, and keep the Charity Hospital functioning in Louisiana. We can also try to use as much funding as possible to keep state highways safe. Arts is not a necessity. The art community can find ways to raise funds through events and donations from individuals and businesses. - Nicholas Bouterie Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:52:06 +0100
