Do you want Ohio to be a cultural wasteland?

The latest budget news from the state of Ohio would have irreparable damage to Ohio's arts and culture. It includes drastic cuts to the Ohio Historical Society (45%), Ohio's Libraries (50%), and other arts organizations (like the arts council). While there were and are tough decisions to make, these important entities only make up a very tiny percent of the budget. With $1.5 million more than the Governor's level, the Ohio Historical Society would be able to still function with most program functions. At the Governor's level, it is hard to even imagine what will happen.
