Dear Arts Supporter, ... Details: Last week the Ways & Means Committee in a
process called budget “mark-down” reduced the Mayor’s proposed budget of 2% for
public art to 1%, and moved the remaining $200,000 to Public Works “to do
environmental
improvements, public art, pedestrian improvements, or to leverage funds for
projects conducted collaboratively with other jurisdictions.”
They want to use the money toward "enhancements" on Lake St., Central
Ave. and Broadway as well, is my guess. They're a little short of what
they want in their wards' projects and this is the way to get it.
