Now our lawmakers, understandably caught in the chokehold that is our current budget, are worried about keeping this program alive. They can do it, and so can we! A wise person once said you have to spend a dollar to make a dollar. Our state needs all the dollars it can get. So let’s keep the tax incentives in place. Georgia did so and enjoys more film revenue than almost any other state.
