(NIAGARA FALLS)

There is a clash over cultural and arts funding in the city of Niagara Falls following a surprising budget cut by the City Council.

30-thousand dollars in the city budget for the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center was slashed by a council majority on Monday.

They said the money was needed for resources in other areas like putting more police on the streets and other neighborhood safety initiatives.
