Wichita is a city with bustling arts, culture, and basketball scenes. I was born and raised here, and there's always a strange, uncomfy feeling when appreciating the city's good due to the fact that the Koch name is plastered on or associated with friggin everything. https://twitter.com/zhelfand/status/974628358121316352 …
So many places I've done theatre at wouldn't exist if not for the Kochs. I'm grateful, but can't ignore the politics that create and sustain that money. Can't ignore that constantly hearing them praised for their generosity softens people to other things they might do.
