TOP STORY<\/p>\n
Several San Diego arts and cultural organizations are gathering at City Hall today in a final effort to protect programs facing steep cuts under Mayor Todd Gloria\u2019s proposed budget. <\/p>\n
The mayor’s plan would slash arts and culture funding by $11.8 million, reducing city grants from $13.8 million to less than $2 million.<\/p>\n
At the Old Globe, leaders say the funding supports free programs in schools, libraries, veterans\u2019 groups, and active-duty military communities, reaching more than 30,000 San Diegans each year. <\/p>\n
Old Globe Arts Director Barry Edelstein said, \u201cWe\u2019re in schools, we\u2019re in libraries, we\u2019re in veterans\u2019 organizations, active-duty military, all for free. The Old Globe has the largest program of theater with incarcerated populations in the country. All that is served to San Diego for free and supported by this funding.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mayor Gloria said this year’s budget required difficult decisions to prioritize what residents value most, including fixing streets, addressing homelessness, and supporting police and fire services. <\/p>\n
He cited survey results showing public safety and basic city services as top priorities, stating, \u201cMy top responsibility, all the elected officials at City Hall\u2019s top responsibility, is public safety. We are mandated by our City Charter to keep San Diegans safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
The City Council will vote on the final budget June 9, and arts leaders say today\u2019s rally may be their last chance to influence the outcome.<\/p>\n
