Dear EP Family, The arts and culture organizations in Erie County need your help! As you know, there is a discussion that one possible revenue source for the state budget is a 6% sales tax on arts and culture events. Please write your state legislators and urge them to say NO to the sales tax. As I write this request, I have learned that Senator Jane Earll is opposed to the sales tax. The email addresses for our representatives are: Thank you for your unending support of the arts! See you at the theatre!
