Rep. Bryan Steil on Tuesday introduced a bill to rescind $25 million in emergency stimulus funding for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts that after the organization anyway laid off nearly 350 musicians and administrative staffers.
“Some in Washington felt it was important to spend $25 million of taxpayer dollars on the Kennedy Center when there are obviously bigger needs right now. This is frivolous spending in the midst of a national emergency. Coronavirus requires a serious and targeted response,” said Steil, a Wisconsin Republican, according to The Daily Wire.
The legislation is cosponsored by 13 other Republicans, including House Minority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, who said it would take back the Kennedy Center spending and give it “back to the American people.”
