I know that arts advocates from the 49 other states are keenly watching what happens in Pennsylvania. They're worried that the state will rush to enact bad policy and in the end create very bad precedent for the rest of the country. Also, pay extra attention to the supposed fund to re-grant to arts organizations. Example: your neighbor in New Jersey is always looking at trying to re-direct its dedicated hotel tax for the arts to pay for other state programs.Nina Ozlu Tuncelihttp://artsusa.orgnoreply@blogger.com
