Details Mulnix’s controversial tenure on the Council during which she advocated a more equitable distribution of arts funding throughout the entire state of Michigan. The majority on the Council supported a few, well-financed projects rather than many, less financed projects. On May 10, 1974, the Council censored Mulnix for her vocal opposition and as a result Governor William Milliken did not reappoint Mulnix to another term on the Council.
