What expense of a software company is not production expenses?? Expenses accounts, light bills, office supplies and on and on are all day to day expenses of the production of software.

Nope it is all and there is no cap and no end. At least a film production ends. This company as long as the law stands will get 30% of the labor paid for by the state.

Yes is cash redeemable and transferrable regardless of their income tax liability. I did not exaggerate when I said the man could have his own company pay him a $10 million salary and get $3 million back from the state.

It would be good to evaluate these programs to ensure they are actually generating positive cash flow for the state government and actually encouraging long-term economic growth.


They are not and any one that can add and subtract can see that.

Take the same position on this, that I did on film credits.

We are losing money on the deal...and I am ok with that until the digital media industry gets a critical mass here in the state. I would be OK with like a 10 year sunset though. If it takes longer than 10 years, it's probably not going to happen.

And while I don't have exact numbers, I strongly believe this is a much better return on investment than the film credits.
