Language Page 482, after line 18, insert:"Out of the amounts for Financial Assistance for Cultural and Artistic Affairs, $200,000 the second year for the Convention & Visitors Bureau Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon on Labor Day Weekend 2005."
Explanation(This amendment provides $200,000 the second year for the Convention & Visitors Bureau Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon on Labor Day Weekend 2005. State funding will attract even more Runners and fill more hotel/motel facilities throughout the Hampton Rads region. This investment will pay off handsomely for the state in increased taxes. Over 15,000 runners were in attendance and the entire event drew over 100,000 spectators last year.)
