California hands out millions of dollars in tax credits to filmmakers. Can the rest of us get some too?

California hands out these tax breaks because for a while in the early 2000s there were a number of states trying to entice the movie industry away from California by handing out, you guessed it, tax breaks. California simply matched what these other states were doing. Most have since dropped the tax breaks, so California could probably phase them out as well. Of course there is the risk that as soon as California did drop these tax breaks, the other states would try again.
Run away production was a huge problem. The situation has improved but is not yet resolved. Some places are just a better deal from locations to costs. That's business.

"Run away production was a huge problem"

Run away sexual abuse has become another huge problem.... :rollseyes:
Yes, nationwide / worldwide/ historically and across all lines it is a problem.

How does that tie into tax incentives?

Your so full on Hollywood that you won't acknowledge the topic....

Why should CA taxpayers....who already are in one of the highest taxed states....be expected subsidize Hollywood to make millions in profits....?
