Governor Ron DeSantis, whose recent run for Republican Party presidential nomination crashed and burned at vast expense, has peremptorily abolished $32 million of funding for arts groups that had been bilaterally approved by the state legislature.
He gave no reason.
Casualties include Sarasota Opera and the Orlando Phoilharmonic.
De Santis has clearly calculated that there are no votes in the arts – in Florida, at least.
