Rest is fine
A House of Delegates measure that would eliminate the Virginia Commission for the Arts in two years would take effect only if both General Assembly houses agree to make it part of the completed state budget. A headline Thursday was incorrect on this point. Also, several figures in the story and accompanying graphics were incorrect or given unclear context. The Taubman Museum of Art received $84,000 from the commission in the 2008-09 fiscal year and $96,000 in the 2009-10 fiscal year. The Roanoke Symphony Orchestra, with an operating budget of $2 million, received $96,000 in 2009-10 and anticipated receiving $84,000 in 2010-11. Opera Roanoke’s $9,000 in grants amounted to about 2.3 percent of its $390,000 budget. The $65,285 that Jefferson Center received in 2009 is 11 percent of the $551,167 contributed to the center that year, according to Jefferson Center Foundation’s chief operating officer, Kathryn Vanness. Vanness added that Jefferson Center Foundation is “not in imminent danger of going out of business.” Link
