Governor Baker Slashes Tourism Funding

Contact Your State Legislators To Restore These Cuts

The Johnny Appleseed Trail Association Needs Your Help!

Late last week Governor Baker quietly “swept” $3 million out of the Tourism Trust Fund, eliminating funding for Regional Tourism Councils by 50% – making it very difficult to market and promote tourism and visitors to our state.

These drastic cuts will have a tremendous negative impact on our collective ability to attract tourists and visitors to our region.  It will undoubtedly hurt small businesses and local shops and sites that benefit from business or leisure visitors to our area and hinder our ability to drive visitors to your businesses.

WE NEED TO RESTORE THESE CUTS!

The Legislature is considering a “Supplemental” budget to restore this funding but they need to hear from all of us that these cuts are bad and are going to hurt the local economy.

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR STATE SENATOR AND STATE REPRESENTATIVE NOW!

Please use the link below to email YOUR State Senator and State Representative directly and ask them to restore the Tourism Trust funding.  It’s easy, simple and will only take a minute.  This is the first time we are asking you to use this technology.  Please take advantage of this user-friendly service and take the time to personalize your email to your legislators.
