In this thread I wasn't claiming that the economic downturn was the only reason for the financial plight of the Columbus Symphony.
I was only citing it as one contributing factor.
I could cite several other contributing factors, too.
I cited the source which said that almost 1 in 10 of people in Ohio are now on food stamps because it shows that the economy in Ohio is worse than many people realize.
The economy is so bad there that one of my in-laws has said that he is thinking about leaving Ohio after living there more than 40 years.
In that terrible economy it would be extremely difficult for any orchestra to survive.
