So, did Granholm and the legislature propose that a fire truck and social worker be assigned to movie crews who set up shop in Michigan, hoping that these available services would entice more film crews? No, instead, Granholm has reversed course and argues that lower taxes DO matter - but only for movie makers. Everyone else wants more government stuff.

Hmm, wait a minute...a closer examination of the legislation reveals that the bills propose more than tax breaks. They also provide for up to $15 million in direct loans to movies studios, with the money coming out of future tobacco revenues borrowed at 40 cents on the dollar today (the 21st Century Slush Fund).

Higher taxes on you and every other business in Michigan to pay for tax breaks and loans to Hollywood. With this kind of "leadership" in Lansing, we won't have to worry about enticing film makers - documentary crews will locate here to record Michigan's economic future and call it, "Apocalypse Now!"

Can you think of any other film titles appropriate for Granholm's Michigan? Maybe, "Jenny and We"? Send your film title ideas to leon@mitaxpayer.org and we will compile a top ten list to forward to state lawmakers.
