Okay, this is like low key kind of a go to proposal. I was just joking. But what if local artists made Sky Walker statues and then people could do that? That's where I'm at, is Wisconsin is actually last or second to last in arts funding. And it's an absolute, absolute embarrassment. You know, states like Minnesota actually have a portion of their sales tax that goes to, like a heritage and cultural preservation fund where they actually fund art. (33:51–33:55)
