Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!

The Word of Our Dan:

As these contracts are let, then we notify the people in the communities that they’re let, so there is a double process there. But it’s not about getting a second bang for the buck on these things, as a matter of fact, it’s about informing people early, and then once the contracts are awarded, it’s letting them know after. But to come in and, y’know, double- and triple-announce money that, that’s given the appearance of being new money, that’s just, that’s misleading.

Clyde Jackman, June 17th. Bang!

The Honourable Clyde Jackman, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Recreation, said the funding, allocated through Budget 2008, is part of the department’s $2.1 million investment in cultural and heritage projects funded through the department’s Cultural Economic Development Program (CEDP).

• Tramore Productions – $10,000 to offset costs associated with the production of its 2008 summer program, to include theatre, ballad singing, and storytelling in Cuslett, Placentia Bay.
  
• Cape St. Mary’s Performance Series – $3,000 to offset costs associated with its performance series of music, storytelling and readings, to be held until September 20 at the Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve.

Clyde Jackman and Felix Collins, today. Bang! Bang!

This CEDP funding is not the first for summer arts projects in the area as the Cape St. Mary’s Performance Series received a previously announced $3,000 and Tramore Productions of Cuslett received $10,000.

Of course, this is just the double process of Informing the People Early and Letting Them Know Afterwards.

It's certainly not about getting a second bang for the buck, coming in and, y’know, double- and triple-announcing money, that’s given the appearance of being new money, because, after Danny, that’s just, that’s misleading.
