Did someone hold this position before? And if they didn’t, why does LexArts need this postion now? And with a Chief Operating Officer, what precisely does the CEO do? Hmmm, one wonders if some Arts groups lost their allocation to help pay for LexArts’ expansion? But it beggars the question why do they need to expand, when they cut back on what they’re supposed to be doing — FUNDING THE ARTS!
