The Spider,

Good catch on BLM! Their supporting BLM should be dissolved and taken out of their mission statement as BLM is a fraud organization. This is very concerning and thank you for noticing this; this is a huge issue in my opinion.

They are so adamant about accepting all, so they should include conservatives, also

This topic should be discussed and no money until they remove stating that they support an organization that has been determined to be fraudulent.

COCA’s mission statement explicitly says they support BLM (marxism), transgenderism and they discriminate against Caucasian Christian artists. In short if you don’t tick off all the cazy liberal boxes they don’t want you. So of course, Tallahassee will be glad to spend millions on this wacis liberal organization. WE need a CONSERVATIVE Arts council for real counter point. IMHO.

@ Edward,

Your question should be addressed to those who voted FOR the $27 million giveaway.

I might be inclined to consider supporting this 100+% increase in a handout of our taxpayer dollars if… those who seek this handout, and/or the politicians who might approve it, can demonstrate – with empirical data mind you – how this expenditure will lower the increasing crime rate, fill potholes, lower utility bills, lower rent, lower gas prices, lower food prices, improve trash collection services, create high-paying career jobs, increase ever-declining high school graduation rates, or improve “at grade level” reading, writing and arithmetic proficiency among our students.

… take your time… I’ll wait…

When COCA becomes a promoter of the arts and not a cliquish insider’s club promoting post-modernistic ugliness, and scratching each others backs, then maybe they deserve some funding.

I say YES!

…With the proviso that they provide more details for $100,000 for new activities.

The benefits of art are immeasurable.

I can think of 20 other issues that money could be used for, and they would all be more meaningful to more people. Why doesn’t COCA get money from its patrons…
