This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm pretty sure that KMPG has suggested these cuts before (or maybe this is the same report working its way to Council) and gotten no traction. In comparison, the police budget is proposed to get a $12 million budget increase for 35 additional officers.
My questions would be:
1. Why do these organizations no longer apply?
2. What other organizations exist that could benefit from similar funding?
3. Why don't we expand funding to more groups rather than cutting funding?
A lot of people could be kept out of trouble and entertained for $12 million of cultural funding.
