I received this email from Erik Olson just a short while ago! Read it carefully, and be a part of the change!
We’ll keep this very brief because we need your help RIGHT NOW. We very nearly lost our Film Incentives TODAY!!!
Just hours ago, Rep. Mike Hagar (Rutherford County), attached an amendment to a tax reform bill (HB 998) to REPEAL the Film Incentives at the end of 2014 – a FULL YEAR BEFORE THE SUNSET. This surprised many of us, who wanted to think our industry was safe for the rest of this legislative session.
THE TRUTH: The Film and TV Industry is UNDER ATTACK in North Carolina.
For the moment, this rushed bit of “legislation” has been voted down. But the writing is on the wall. Certain members of the NC House are out to KILL JOBS and KICK THE FILM AND TV INDUSTRY OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Contact your representatives now to let them know that these incentives create jobs and have driven nearly a half a BILLION DOLLARS into the NC economy.
