Among those who will immediately feel financial pressure are the FreeFall Theater, a nonprofit theater company in St. Petersburg which expected $105,000 from the state, and ZooTampa at Lowery Park, which planned to use its $500,000 share of state grants for a manatee rescue habitat that is part of a $125 million expansion. Both organizations said that, while they do get grants and donations from other sources, the budget cuts mean they will have to find other streams of revenue to fund their projects.

as it should be............................
They can get a job like everyone else.
- OR - They can reduce their own budgets and cut back on their projects. If ZooTampa at Lowery Park lost $500,000 on a project budgeted at $125 million, surely they can find something in the budget that can be eliminated.
Around here, I was stunned a few years ago, using a restroom in one of the Omaha Public Schools high schools, that EVERY toilet paper dispenser in EVERY stall in the ladie’s room, had the school district’s logo silkscreened onto the dispenser. WHY? How much did that cost? This is the kind of crap that no one should have to pay for.
