Legislative Update - 8/1/03
With specific funding levels for the Council’s Cultural Heritage Development
Fund, The Historical Commission and the Arts Commission still in play, and
no lack of other claimants at the Capitol for that funding, it might be wise
for us to mount one last advocacy campaign to assure our funding in the
budget implementer bill now being written.

Please email or call (too late to write) your local legislator, emphasis
your support for the heritage program of the Council and the Commission and
urge that he/she strongly make that case to their legislative leaders as
soon as possible.

Information on both heritage granting programs, their economic impact,
contact information for individual legislators, etc., are on the coalition
advocacy website at <http://www.ctculture.org/chdf/index.htm>.
