So, according to this story, The Kennedy Center (which recently had a $250 million renovation as well as the $25 million stimulus) has informed its musicians that they won't be paid after April 3rd. LINK
It's the WFB and they quote unnamed sources, so take that as you see fit.

For the Democrats to pocket?

I've seen twitter accounts (again, take it as you see fit) claiming that $5 million was donated back to the DNC. Nothing substantive thus far.

It'll be more untraced, unaccounted for taxpayer funds that get transferred from Kennedy Center to the tens of Soros "non-profits" so they can pay their bloggers and get logistics lined up for summer, late-Fall demonstrations

The Kennedy Center, which recently completed a $250 million renovation, received $41 million from taxpayers in 2019, but faced massive deficits after shutting its doors on March 12 due to the coronavirus outbreak. President Rutter went on a media blitz to highlight the cultural hub's struggles, telling the Washington Post that she would forego her $1.2 million salary during the closure. Members of the orchestra chafed at the notion that they should do the same—particularly because they also face the prospect of losing their health benefits after May 31.
Orchestra members are challenging the Kennedy Center over its handling of the outbreak. The orchestra is only a few months into a four-year collective bargaining agreement it signed with the center in 2019. Members plan on filing a grievance because the contract stipulates at least six-weeks advanced notice before paychecks can stop. While they are confident in their case, committee members said the decision would not likely come for at least two weeks.
1.2 MILLION DOLLARS SALARY. I don't think the President of the United States salary is that much and HE gives it to charity.
Second thought...I know by Union contract law you cannot announce a layoff with such short notice and I don't think you can do it according to Federal Law, which I think has an employee minimum. 500?
