Culture Driving Michigan's Economy

Michigan's arts and cultural sector will play an increasingly important role in helping our communities better define themselves as great places for people to live, businesses to thrive, and tourists to visit. As Michigan continues the hard work of transforming its economy, the strategy of cultural economic development - building upon our cultural assets to boost community prosperity -- will help our cities, neighborhoods and rural areas position themselves for long-term growth.

Now, how could any of us possibly support the curtailing of a department so confident in its own value that it can promote itself using such mindless gibberish? Why in the world wasn't this department slashed in half during the last couple of budget crises?

How many more departments are there out there that could use a good axing?
