> Dear Friends,
>
> The Senate Ways and Means Committee announced the Senate version of  
> the proposed FY 08 budget giving the Massachusetts Cultural Council  
> $12.3 million, a $150,000 increase from the FY 07 budget and an  
> $850,000 increase from the Governor’s proposed funding.  This is a  
> big victory for the cultural community and it reflects the  
> commitment of Senate leaders to support the arts, sciences and  
> humanities.
>
> MAASH thanks Senate President Therese Murray and Chairman Steven  
> Panagiotakos for maintaining their commitment to arts and culture,  
> even in a time when the state faces a $1.3 billion deficit.
>
> The Senate budget also makes the critical step of reauthorizing the  
> Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund, appropriating $1.23 million  
> for FY 08.  This is significant for the cultural community because  
> the Senate has joined the House by funding this program through the  
> operating budget.  The Facilities Fund must be reauthorized and  
> funded every year to continue the program.  MAASH will work with  
> our allies in the Senate to file an amendment to boost facilities  
> funding to $10 million to match the House appropriation.
>
> We will call on our cultural advocates to take action next week   
> The Senate budget debate is scheduled to begin May 23.   Please  
> watch for the next e-mail alert.
