Statement from IPBS Executive Director Mark Newman on the Passage of the Rescissions Act
|
Early this morning, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to eliminate all previously approved federal funding for public media—a devastating outcome for our entire system. For the first time in history, Congress has rescinded $1.1 billion in critical support for public media, despite overwhelming public opposition.
This decision is a serious setback. But our IPBS member stations are not giving up. Public media will continue to operate in Indiana, and our commitment to Hoosiers remains as strong as ever.
