And Now For Something Completely Different!
The Washington State Arts Alliance, Arts Advocacy Meeting 5/27/11
I’ll start by saying…there were mimosas: SB 5834 passed with a 62/34 vote at 9:34pm on Wednesday. What a juicy win for us after all the re-writing, foot-dragging, and appeasement-searching. 10% budget cuts rather than 47%. Alright!
