Economic studies have shown that every $1 spent on arts and culture programs generates about $9 more in related spending.
Leave it to Republicans to cut off their nose to spite their face.
That’ll stop the roaming midnight gangs of theater kids that plague the city with their catchy chorepgraphed singing muggings

How long until swim suits have restrictions? Laws for showing ankle?
Are they eventually going to bring back stoning?

FML. Leaving it.
Aside from the simple fact that fascists hate all art (and everything and everyone, really) that doesn’t hew to their narrow prejudices, I expect that a lot of the problem is that, as opposed to his cronies in the prison industry or the private school industry, none of the recipients of art funding pay him kickbacks.
fascists hate all art
Bullshit. They absolutely love propaganda and co-opting existing symbology to unite their supporters and exclude the out groups they use to fan the flames of hatred.

Because of course he did.
That will surely spare his state from impending doom
This is not something yet widely known in Florida arts circles…thank you for sharing this.
My seashell picture frame business is doomed.
For fucks sake ron
It’s because he’s about as sophisticated as linoleum from the 70s. Look, it’s fine to have less personality than drywall, but that doesn’t mean you should take away everyone else’s paint.
It’s because “art is woke” and “for the gays” or something like that, I’m sure.
I can’t tell if you’re REALLY into remodeling or REALLY bored by it 🤔
