Pick a year. I don't care. How many checks were written from the state? What was the aggregate amount of those checks?
Explain why it matters that I differentiate the money paid directly from the state from the money paid by other taxpayers to the filmmakers?
I have already told you the approximate amount of that in 2012--$170 million. I know that in 2012 the state wrote about $40 million in checks for 2012 credits but I do not know what they wrote for 2011 credits in 2012 or what they wrote in 2013 for 2012 credits.
I know the credits in 2013 totaled $251 million.

You do realize tax payers saved money by purchasing the credits, don't you? (No you don't)

Well. If you whine about checks being written to film companies...it may be relevant how many checks were written and how big those checks were. My gut feeling is the state didn't write any checks. You have evidence to the contrary?
