The Senate must now reconcile its budget proposal with that of the House, which recommended cutting MCC\u00a0funding to $9.6 million. House and Senate leaders will select members of a conference committee that will work out those\u00a0differences before bringing a final plan back to their respective chambers, then back to the Governor for his approval. This\u00a0process should be completed before the new fiscal year begins July 1.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate vote came after a coalition including MCC, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mass-creative.org\/\">MASSCreative<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/masshumanities.org\/\">Mass Humanities<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/artistsunderthedome.org\/malc\">Mass Artists Leaders Coalition<\/a>, with\u00a0advocates across the state, urged legislators to reverse proposed cuts to cultural funding in earlier versions of the state\u00a0budget. MCC originally sought $16 million for next year, but House and Senate leaders said such an increase was unrealistic\u00a0given other demands for state funding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is another step forward in our ongoing effort to reverse a decade of cuts to state support for the arts, humanities,\u00a0and sciences,\u201d said MCC Executive Director Anita Walker. \u201cOur elected leaders have once again responded to a clear and united<br \/>\ncall to restore funding to a cultural sector that contributes so much to our quality of life in Massachusetts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walker thanked Sen. Kathleen O\u2019Connor Ives of Newburyport, Co-Chair of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts, and Cultural\u00a0Development, and her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.massculturalcouncil.org\/news\/advocacy.asp#senate_support\">25 Senate colleagues who cosponsored her amendment to restore MCC funding<\/a>. She also thanked the many\u00a0advocates who weighed in on behalf of MCC and its constituents, and urged them to stay engaged through the final stages of\u00a0the budget process.<\/p>\n<p>See MCC&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.massculturalcouncil.org\/news\/advocacy.asp\">Advocacy Action Center<\/a> for details on the budget process and for the latest data on the nonprofit cultural sector\u2019s\u00a0contributions to the Massachusetts economy and quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory Liakos<br \/>\nMCC Communications Director<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Massachusetts Cultural Council<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.massculturalcouncil.org\/\">Massachusetts Cultural Council<\/a> is a state agency that promotes excellence,<br \/>\naccess, education, and diversity in the arts, humanities, and sciences, to improve the quality of life for all Massachusetts\u00a0residents and contribute to the vitality of our communities.
