How have the arts, culture, and/or humanities impacted your life?
- The expression of feelings introduces not only the feelings of self but of others and the beauty of that.
-
Utah's humanities and arts employ 123,000 Utahns, provide $4.4 billion in earnings, and $13.2 billion in sales. This is a larger economic impact than agriculture, mining, and real estate. Do you consider the arts and cultural sector an economic driver in Utah?
- Yes
-
Fiscally responsible government investment in the arts and humanities (including humanities and arts education) means to me:
- I believe that means providing tax revenue to the benefit of what it was approved by the voters to do.
-
Items of Legislation I support:
- My county's redevelopment authority should have a public art ordinance
- Friendly ordinances that encourage public and private mural creation
- Increased investment in public art projects to encourage murals, sculptures, utility wraps, and more
-
Would you elaborate on your answers above?
- I won't have a legislative position to pass a RAP tax.
-
I believe percent for art ordinances should apply to:
- Public buildings
- Transportation
- All government capital projects
-
Anything else we should know about you?
- I really love the photography medium as well as plays, dancing exhibitions.
