Still no word...

Not only were we left hanging when the Provincial government decided to freeze Direct Access funds and not tell the non-profit organizations what was going on, but now the media releases all say "The Freeze is Lifted!" and there is still no word from Direct Access or the Government! We don't know if we'll get what we've received for the past six years, or less, or none at all. I just heard this morning on CBC radio that a Vancouver theatre festival received word they were denied their Gaming funding, money they were counting on for this year's event. Now I'm really worried.

My board of directors meets this week to discuss the situation, although without any information, what's to discuss? Cuts to staff? I don't imagine the board members want to do my job, I wonder if they even realize that would have to happen. You can't cut someone's hours in half and expect the same job to be done. Oh wait, the government itself has been doing that for years to civil servants, RCMP, etc. Do you think they'll cut MLA wages by 40%?
