At $14 million, the arts are a bargain for state's budget

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "As the state's budget woes drag on through the legislature, the arts continue to get no respect.
The most recent budget proposals contain zero funding for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the conduit through which the state dribbles support to arts organizations across Pennsylvania.
At stake is $14 million.
To most of us, that sounds like a lot of money.
But, according to the arts advocacy group Citizens for the Arts in Pennsylvania, that $14 million costs each taxpayer a nickel per week or $2.60 a year."
