Really cool.

The key is to build infrastructure (studios, post-production, etc) so that we get more out of the dollars spent here.

Once we have boxed out every state but CA, then we can bring down the subsidies some.

What's interesting to me is, doesn't it seem a lot easier and simpler to cut taxes across the board to encourage growth in the state in all sectors?

What in the frick?

Liberals and conservatives alike will admit that these programs attract growth, yet will deny it in the next breath when its labeled a simple tax cut.. Makes my head hurt.

Unbelievable.

Come on Jim you can't be for this crap.

Tell me what not just call up Google and give them the same deal if these things are so great for the State?

We should call the moving vans and move everyone working in the industry to Georgia.

13000 people out over 1.8 million working citizens of the state and we give this industry almost $1 dollar of every $10 in income tax collections.

How naive.

The subsidies have to be permanent. What happens if you drop the subsidies and other states decide to offer 25% to 35% of production costs?

hint: they gone.
