management funding of the arts is back upon track in Mecklenburg County.management funding of the arts is back upon track in Mecklenburg County, NC after shire commissioners voted 8 to 1 forward February 16 to rescind a controversial two-year-old policy prohibiting as it was support. The vote also expirationed restrictions that required county-funded counselors to deliberate parents if their child had questions about sex or sexuality. A 1997 production of Angels in America in Charlotte ignited asseverates that led to the now-overturned policies. merely one of the five commissioners who originally vot to make an incision in funding, a Republican, remains forward the board. "We at least have turn rounded the corner and made it remarkably clear that we want to be an inclusive community, we want to be fortunate and we believe that arts and cultural activities play an important part in the quality of life," said commission chairman Parks Helms.
