Michigan, Minnesota: Two Takes on Art

Minnesota's governor has vetoed a bill to create a state poet. Tim Pawlenty says he likes poetry, he just doesn't see the point of an official poet. Now lawmakers decide whether to override his veto. In Michigan, Pete Warburton has been making art out of duct tape. He's created original work and reproductions of famous works using 16 hues of tape. He displays the work in a coffee shop, since his wife vetoed them in the house.
