-
How have the arts, culture, and/or humanities impacted your life?
- I enjoy the beauty in the arts and have learned some good information on culture and history
-
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:
- $ 50,000
-
Items of Legislation I support:
- I will ensure existing fund balances are preserved for recreation, cultural organizations, and parks
- Percent for public art programs, which optionally designate 1% of government capital costs for public art
- My county's redevelopment authority should have a public art ordinance
- Increased investment in public art projects to encourage murals, sculptures, utility wraps, and more
-
Would you elaborate on your answers above?
- I don’t believe in taxes.
-
I believe percent for art ordinances should apply to:
- Public buildings
- Transportation
- Utilities
- All government capital projects
-
Anything else we should know about you?
- Conservative, fiscally responsible, preserve history
