This support is a strong endorsement of the cultural sector\u2019s value, amid yet another challenging year for state finances.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Sarah Peake of Provincetown, House Chair of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts, and Cultural Development, filed Amendment 388 to increase state cultural funding through MCC to $11 million. Her amendment would reverse a proposed $1.2 million cut to MCC\u2019s budget included in a House Ways &amp; Means Committee budget proposal for fiscal year 2013 released Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The Peake amendment was cosponsored by 60 State Representatives from across the Commonwealth\u2014representing communities large and small, urban, suburban, and rural. A full list of co-sponsors is below.<\/p>\n<p>Our challenge now is to assure passage of this amendment when the full House takes up the FY13 budget beginning April 23. Amendments must be approved by a majority of the House, which has 160 members.<\/p>\n<h2>Just a short call is all it takes!<\/h2>\n<p><strong>If your Representative did not sign on, please contact them before April 23 and urge support for Amendment # 388 to restore state funding for arts and culture through the MCC!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Calls and letters from constituents living and working in communities represented by House leaders can be especially effective. Those include:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Speaker Robert DeLeo (Winthrop and Revere)<br \/>\n\u00b7 Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad (Somerset, Dighton, Swansea)<br \/>\n\u00b7 Majority Leader Ronald Mariano (Quincy, Holbrook, Weymouth)<br \/>\n\u00b7 Ways and Means Chair Brian Dempsey (Haverhill)<\/p>\n<p>When the House finishes its budget, the debate shifts to the Senate, which will craft its own budget in May. The two chambers must then agree on a final spending plan before sending it back to the Governor for final approval. The new fiscal year begins July 1.<\/p>\n<p>For the latest MCC budget news, please visit our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/masscultural.pmailus.com\/pmailweb\/ct?d=VQ492wAOAAEAAA4LAAYM3w\" target=\"_blank\">Advocacy Action Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of Peake Amendment # 388:<\/p>\n<p>1.
