@TheErocafella This is completely not true at all. I have an Ernst and Young Study that proves otherwise that I would love to send to you. Just let me know if you are willing to let me send it to you...I know we don't know each other but I am willing to share if you are willing to read it. Just let me know.

What goes around comes around.

Michigan took away 10,000 or more jobs from California.

Stop acting like PUSSIES, at least you are goingto a job in NOLA.

Wow. I hope the film she went to go work on isn't as cheesy as this one...

Lets look at how well it is working, shall we?

"In 2008, approximately 47.3% of expenditures that qualified for the Media Production Credit did not affect the Michigan economy--primarily because the expenditures were made to individuals and firms outside of Michigan. The law allows such expenditures to qualify for the credit under a variety of circumstances. As a result, approximately $22.7 million of the $48.0 million in approved credits

provided no contribution to the Michigan economy."
