im curious, but trying to salavage expenditure of emotional energy. will probably just withdraw back into my shell like a good little atlantan. im part of the team, though. i promise.

sorry Jeff-
this is not accurate. AiFP funding was attached to FCAC's Public Art
trust fund not their general yearly funds- the money has been set
aside as a % allocation for years and not subject to annual budget
review. This has nothing to do with the loss of revenue from Sandy
Springs- the money is already in the FCAC coffers. This message is
about politics an resource allocation and not policy.
