Filming in the Red

March 9, 2011

Arizona has a $2 billion budget deficit.  Needless to say, tax dollars are at a premium.   So why did the Senate just vote to subsidize movie producers?  No idea.  How many jobs did the old film tax credit produce in 2008 – 2009?  Forty-one (41).  And according to the Dept. of Commerce, those jobs ceased to exist after just one year.    So far, the state has spent $10 million on movie-makers.  What a program.

The House needs to kill the needless, senseless, (jobless) program.
