STEALING FROM HOLLYWOOD

Today's ABQ Journal cites a study that claims the Calif. has lost 10,600 entertainment jobs since 1997 due to film and television productions going to other states and countries. New Mexico has benefited from some of that with major shows such as Terminator and TV series such as "Breaking Bad." While we offer 25% tax rebate incentives on direct in-state expenses, some argue that we are losing money for every dime we spend on that program. One wonders what the changes might be with a new governor since Richardson is clearly a big advocate of this program.
