Thank you for your support Senator Rodrigues!

What a great way to start our work week! This morning our Acting Executive Director Dave Slatery and Senior Director of Public Affairs Bethann Steiner had the opportunity to sit down with Senator Mike Rodrigues, Chair of Senate Ways & Means and his staff team. The Chair has always been a stalwart supporter of arts and culture, both on Beacon Hill and in his First Bristol & Plymouth District - which includes Fall River and surrounding communities.

Thank you for the opportunity to discuss Mass Cultural Council's FY27 budget and policy priorities, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for being a champion in the State House!
