Advocacy Needed: Help Preserve MCC's Place in State Government
A legislative conference committee is now considering competing bills to reorganize state government agencies that foster economic development in Massachusetts. A final version of this bill must go to the Governor for his approval before the legislative session ends July 31 for the bill to become law. House Bill 4863
One of the goals of the legislation is to streamline government agencies that market the state under the umbrella of a new quasi-public organization called the Massachusetts Marketing Partnership. This Partnership would oversee the Massachusetts Film Office, the Sports Marketing Partnership, and the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism (MOTT), among other agencies.
The Senate version of this bill would place the MCC under MOTT within the new Marketing Partnership. By contrast, the version passed by the House of Representatives would leave MCC where it is in the state government hierarchy: within the office of the state Treasurer, but not subject to its control.
If this bill passes, the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) fears the work it does within the arts and cultural communities will be undervalued if MCC is charged with advancing a more narrow agenda focused on tourism. The MCC needs your help to ensure that this important legislation does not compromise the mission of the MCC to foster the health and vitality of the nonprofit cultural sector!
The MCC Board believes strongly that MCC should maintain its place as an independent agency within Massachusetts state government. Please tell the conferees (listed below) and the Governor to support the House version of this legislation.

Senator Karen Spilka of Framingham
Senator Benjamin Downing of Pittsfield
