Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> <br /> <br />My name is Adriana Rodriguez <br /> <br />I work in downtown Santa Ana and live all my life here in Santa Ana and I would like to make a comment regarding the <br />arts & culture budget. <br />To have Bowers receive 80% of this budget when it appears to be unnecessary is disheartening. This budget needs to be <br />fairly and equally distributed to more than just one entity. <br />This could foster and strengthen a truly creative city attracting more businesses and attracting customers to the <br />businesses currently in the city. <br />For example, the downtown’s art walk is a revenue generator for many downtown businesses. These businesses need <br />the help especially after construction. Funding of this monthly event by the city is an obvious win-win. This is just ONE <br />example. So why is it not funded? How does funding bowers millions of dollars help create revenue for other businesses <br />in the area? It seems that it only benefits Bowers. <br /> <br />I hope that our leadership will do the right thing and spread the support to other arts/culture endeavors and we can all <br />benefit. <br /> <br /> <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />1 <br />
