Money and Art

The San Diego Union-Tribune is reporting that California’s ‘Whale Tale’ license plate is going to be changed due to a dispute over royalties between the Coastal Commission and the original artist, Robert Wyland.  The state has reportedly collected $40 million from the special plate since it was introduced in 1997.
