    Film Credit Failure Redux.. | 3 comments (3 topical, 0 hidden)
    Temporary (none / 0) (#1)

    That is why I do not like this tax credit.  The jobs that are currently in the state probably include music companies that provide sound tracks/background music, etc.  But most of these film companies bring their own personnel that they are familiar with and who know their jobs and the industry.  When the film is done they are gone.  Granted money is spent while they are here thus contributing to the coffers but the same thing happens with tourists.

    I bet the temps they hire while here is less than 20-40 per film. Considering what they are getting back in incentives compared to employment statistics I would say the state is on the very short end of the stick.

    Get rid of it all together.  Not worth it to me and many others who don't go to the movies to see the trash they put out anyway.
