1,000 people are expected to protest in Lansing over Gov Granholm’s moratorium on $7.5 million in state grants, and an addition $3.6 million funding cut appproved by the Senate, bring our Michigan’s support for music and arts to it’s lowest in decades.

Many people are rightfully upset after working hard to secure grant money, then being told that they can’t have it.  When you’re in the hole $686 million like our state is then I guess it’s time to start stealing money from whoever you can.  The rally is scheduled for 9:00 AM, and organized by ArtServe Michigan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Michigan prides itself on it’s culture, arts, and music  heritage.  If these programs can’t be saved - apparently many small groups have already spent the money that was promised and are faced with insurmountable deficits - then we need to rally to create more and support them by spending money and checking them out.

For those who go to the rally - give ‘em hell!
