Securing a stable revenue for the California Arts Council

AB 2728 did not pass out of the Appropriations Committee on May 22, 2008.  Thank you to everyone who took time to contact

their legislators, media outlets and community leaders to urge their support for a public investment in the arts in California.    

A special thank you to Assembly Member Betty Karnette who introduced both AB 1365 and AB 2728 in a sincere effort to bring

arts funding to what it was eight years ago.  We also thank Assembly Members Fiona Ma and Anthony Portantino for co-authoring  AB 2728.
