Re: HB1274 (Vaillancourt) - Abolishment of the Department of Cultural Resources - Oppose
Dear Madam Chair and the Members of the Committee:
I am writing to register my opposition to HB1274, authored by Rep. Steven Vaillancourt.
I am an artist who has lived and worked in the state for nearly eleven years. Without the Department of Cultural Resources (DCR) my volunteer activities, ranging from helping kids and nonprofit agencies to assisting town departments, would have been nearly impossible. The DCR mobilizes resources in such a way that it is easy to reach out and ask for help when it is needed. I have attended workshops I would not have been able to afford. I have met other artists with whom I have collaborated.
In short, I cannot sustain my efforts without the DCR, nor can countless other artists throughout this state. And if the state loses DCR and the artists it supports, then the biggest losers are our children and our grandchildren.
Please help save the Department of Cultural Resources.
Thank you,
Dana Myskowski
Henniker, NH
