Bill: Local Arts Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: AM RIP Tetragrammaton
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2201
Description[?]:
| During this bill's last proposal we established that it is local communities who are the masters of their culture, and therefore they should be in charge of funding to the arts. With so much decided federally is there anything left for the local governments? Should they not have the right to preserve their local culture? It is in the hands of the citizens to decide for themselves the funding arts receive, not federal powers. |
