so do we give away 200 million or is some of that tax credits? Also where is this number coming from. I am pretty confused
The state makes people like me and our business pay these film companies or else they levy taxes against us.
God bless America.

ok so if we spend 200 million subsidizing movies, and the spent 750 million in LA...

The state's official reporting on budgeting and expenditures.

The money could be better spent elsewhere, but it's less than 1% of the state budget.
Silver lining - The film industry has really brought a lot of positive press to LA and its way of life.

If the formula is as simple as writing magical $200M checks, then where would it ever logically end?
