I have received an overview of the Film Tax Credit programs available in each state.

Although the Tax Credit programs are under fire across the country, some states are fighting to continue them.  For example, Michigan, a leader  and one of the most active in promoting their program, has a bill before its legislature to continue the program.  Despite the "knee-jerk" reaction of "why give money to Hollywood", Michigan and other states are realizing the economic benefits that have flowed into their respective states as a result of their programs.

Recently, former Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times ("There's No Business Like Show Business") discussing the benefits that New Mexico received as a result of their program.

Unfortunately, the Arizona legislature is too busy demonizing the Latin-American community, reducing workers rights, and returning women to the kitchen and undercutting their health, to pay attention to "silly" things such as jobs, tax revenues, and economic growth.
