Your Help is Still Needed!

Last week, the Legislative Budget Conference
Committee voted 8-0 to approve an
appropriation of $7 million from the general
fund for 2014-15 to the California Arts
Council (CAC).
Your help is still needed! The full state budget
will now go to a floor vote in both houses of
the Legislature and then to the Governor to
be signed. We ask for your help one more
time to communicate to the Governor your
support for the Legislature's appropriation
to the CAC.
