It is the first time that no money will be allocated for arts and culture programs by the state.

Wow. That would be shocking to the arts community. They rely so heavily on grant funding.

Of course, I'm sure DeSantis is doing this because arts are "woke" and "for gay people" or some such ultra right, hateful nonsense.
