STIMULUS! D.C. STYLE: “Mayor Adrian M. Fenty is raiding the Neighborhood Investment Fund for earmarks for arts groups and other non-neighborhood-investment purposes. ‘Under the proposed budget, only $5.4 million of the $17 million will be set aside for neighborhood groups. About $1.6 million will be transferred to the Commission on Arts and Humanities and distributed through grants of mostly $250,000 to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Washington National Opera, the D.C. Jewish Community Center and other groups, all based in Northwest.’”
