The city council meeting today addressed to disasterous closures that have already taken place and are pending at art centers across the city.  Check out the video.  The issue gets taken up around the 3 hour 20 minute mark.  My public comment is at 3:43.  I am pleased to see that Councilman Tom La Bange of the 4th district is moving forward on his ingenious plan to move the needed funds to keep the centers running through the fiscal year (about $600,000) from the $19,000,000 pool set aside for public art.  If it's legal, it sounds like it will happend.  He has been a true champion for the arts in this battle, as have councilmembers Reyes, Garcetti, Hahn and others.

The video is posted on the city council site. It's the March 24th council meeting.
