No state taxes for out-of-state artists, Washington senator says

In Washington, it's the law that ferry boats be built in-state. But when it comes to taxpayer-funded art, the world is the palette. There's no requirement that public art contracts go to Washington artists. Now a Democratic state senator wants to change that. But his proposal is meeting resistance from Washington's art community.

I'm standing on the campus of Olympic College in Bremerton, Washington looking at a large sculpture called 'Signs and Symbols.' It's basically a big archway made out glass blocks that light up at night. This sculpture was paid for by Washington taxpayer dollars, but the artist who made it is from Arizona.
