Creative Economy Council Passes in the Mass. Senate
Bosley Bill Advances to the Governor's Desk

WCCA TV, public access, is an important, vital part of the Creative Economy. WCCA TV facilitates a free speech platform which represents a free flow of information which any creative economy depends upon. WCCA also encourages citizen participation, civic engagement, open dialog, fresh and diverse ideas essential to creativity and an creative economy. We hope our city leaders ( councilors and administration ) are opened minded to the value of WCCA TV, as we share the following good news from MAASH.

"Dear Friends,

This week the Massachusetts Senate passed Rep. Dan Bosley's bill to create a statewide council on the creative economy. The council will work with the Office of Economic Development to “develop a statewide strategy for the enhancement, encouragement, and growth of the creative economy in the commonwealth, and to promote through public and private means responsive public policies and innovative private sector practices.”

MAASH thanks Senate President Therese Murray, Senator Ben Downing and the entire Senate for their hard work and support on behalf of our creative economy.

Rep. Dan Bosley (D-N. Adams), House Chairman of the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies, sponsored the bill and guided it through the House legislative process. Senator Ben Downing (D-Berkshire County) successfully shepherded the bill through the Senate.

“Massachusetts is the national leader in innovation and in growing the creative economy. By establishing this council, we will be able to identify strategies, effective practices and ideas so that the non-profit cultural organizations, the for-profit businesses and creative individuals can thrive.” Chairman Bosley said.

The council will consist of 23 members including legislators, the director of MAASH, the director of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and other leaders in the creative economy movement.

The text of the bill is posted on the MAASH web site:

The creative economy council bill now moves to the Governor for his consideration.

Thank you,

Dan Hunter
Executive Director
Massachusetts Advocates for the Arts, Sciences, & Humanities (MAASH) "
