Thanks to a tip via the Ogle Mole Network, we've learned that 170 local arts organizations that received "Oklahoma Arts and Cultural Industry Relief Grants" from the state are forced to "acknowledge" – and in turn, praise and promote – Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt on social media.
Here are the details...
Last year, Kevin Stitt provided $3-million in CARES funding to the Oklahoma Arts Council for them to dole out to local arts organizations through a relief grants program. For those keeping score at home, that's a whopping 0.002% of the state's $1.5-billion CARES allotment.
