Caught on the news that Carbondale Community Arts has changed its name to Artspace 304 and the Women's Center has renamed itself the Survivor Empowerment Center Appears that both organizations have decided their missions have changed and the new names better reflect the new mission

More on City Council Meeting
The DE has a good write up on last night's city council meeting. Councilwoman McDaniels, the only council member besides the mayor to speak in favor of the proposal, is being disingenuous when she compares the proposal funding the district 95 reading program to funding provided for organizations such as the Women's Center and Boys and Girls' Club:
For those organizations, did we say, ‘We want a guarantee from you that you are going to succeed,’” McDaniel said. “No, we don’t say, ‘We want a guarantee from you.’ We give them the money and we trust that they will make the best decision that they can.”
However, if you look at the list of social service organizations the city supports (thumbnail #179), you will notice the most any one gets is $48,000. The two the councilwoman cites, Women's Center and Boys and Girls Club, get $12,500 and $30,000 respectively. and have to reapply for them annually. The reading and math proposal provides $150,000 annually, maybe a bit more, over a 5 year period with no provision for termination in the effect the program performs poorly. Hardly the same thing.
