Reply #80: How on earth has the film industry "raped the state?"

[blue_onyx]

It has brought jobs and millions of dollars in investment. It's an industry that is attractive to young, creative people which the state needs to attract and retain. Many of the job are temporary but a job is a job. The industry is growing and will continue to bring more jobs here. If the state continues to attract film production, people will be able to find steady work by moving to a new film once one film finishes. On the local news, multiple times I've seen people say the only work they have found was in the film industry. These incentives have been great and given many people a job and hope.

The stuff you're saying about the film industry sounds like the nonsense I hear from Republicans up here. Maybe Texas is a better political fit for you.
