The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is setting a new standard for petty greed.
The organization somehow managed to get Democrats to give it $25 million worth of funding in the coronavirus stimulus bill.
And then, on the same day it got its windfall, the Kennedy Center informed the performers in the National Symphony Orchestra that they will no longer be getting paid.
Orchestra members were informed that they would stop getting their paychecks on April 3, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
