[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county can’t keep bailing out unsustainable organizations. This is sad but clearly their business model wasn’t sustainable.[/quote]

By this reasoning, there are a boatload of programs the County should stop funding.  Maybe they could quit funding the Parks and the Nature Centers since they are clearly not self-funding.  Maybe libraries need to go.  No way the library would be sustainable without County funding.  [/quote]

Meh. The libraries and parks are government agencies.

And there are plenty of nonprofit programs the county funds that could be cut because they aren't achieving the outcomes they promised. This is sad, but the orchestra got plenty of county funding above and beyond the $150k they asked for as a rescue. Annual funding, even. And they couldn't bridge the gap between that funding and their operations. [/quote]

Strathmore is a government program too, of course. Which is likely to soon be without either of its two professional orchestras.[/quote]
