Incentives? Smart? I don't think so!
In recent months, several states have considered eliminating incentives altogether. Facing unprecedented fiscal pressures, some lawmakers question whether handing out money to Hollywood is the best use of increasingly limited public funds. And there's intense disagreement about the actual economic windfall associated with landing a movie production in your state or city. After a decade of ever-expanding film incentives, some say it's time to end states' gold rush for the silver screen.
I say end them now. Time to send the Hollytrash back to Lost Angeles, the city of coke-addled, fallen angels.
Incentives are Robbing Taxpayers!
