The County Council failed to approve $150,000 in funds.  130 musicians and staff are losing their jobs.

$150K doesn’t seem like a ton of money.  Why could they not come up with that?  [/quote]

Surely some Potomac or CCMD DCUMers can write that check today?

Evidently they prefer for the county to do it with tax dollars.[/quote]

Or in MoCo, NOT do it.

I agree that this is something that should be taken care of with tax dollars.  Every single kid in the County benefits from this in 2nd and 5th grade.  Plus, it's great to have this locally, especially with all the young musicians in the area.  Why is the County so willing to let it go?  [/quote]

Take your kids to a concert and not rely on the schools to do it.  A one hour field trip isn't going to make musicians out of our kids.[/quote]
