Mayor Kasim Reed has reversed his decision to cut the city’s Office of Cultural Affairs grants program by half, telling arts leaders Thursday that he’s restoring its full budget to $470,000.

Reed acknowledged that the arts trim, as part of an attempt to close an overall shortfall of $17 million in the city’s 2012 budget, “didn’t sit right” with him. It didn’t sit right either with arts leaders and artists, more than 200 who held a rally at City Hall and spoke at a City Council budget hearing last week.
Yes, I would imagine that it wouldn't "sit right" with the protesting arts leaders and artists. Not exactly a disinterested party to confer with.

Where are our priorities? Reed should have cut their budget and ask Atlanta's charity organizations (not Kaiser Permanete ) to cover the shortfall.
