Wayne Cauthen knows how to look busy.
Subject(s):
Wayne A. Cauthen, résumé, The Austin American-Statesman, Kansas City, Missouri... by raiding a grant program for neighborhood arts and cultural activities.
The city's Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund, which is supported by convention and visitor taxes, helps out a number of worthwhile groups and events. Past grant recipients include the Mutual Musicians Foundation, the Westport Art Fair, Filmfest Missouri and the Line Creek Figure Skating Club.
Cauthen's new budget proposes to divert $475,000 from this fund to support what the budget calls "international tourism development," whatever that means.
It'd be a shame if this little budget move made the city a less lively place for the people who already live here.
The Kansas City jazz on Cauthen's résumé isn't the kind for dancing.
