Raise arts, culture & media spending

Issued by the voters of Rheinland on Oct. 1, 2024.

We’re spending just $118 per person on arts, culture, and media—barely half of what our peers spend, at $235. That’s why our theatres, museums, and local media can’t compete, and we’re tired of being left behind while everyone else gets the investment they deserve. We want it raised to $220, at least close to where it belongs—not stuck in the gutter while the rest of the world moves forward.
