One of MALC’s priorities is protecting the State’s Film Tax Credit program which has helped our State’s arts, culture and creative economy grow.<\/p>\n

Statement of Massachusetts Production Coalition\u00a0on
\nGovernor Baker’s Proposal for the
\nFilm & Television Production Incentive<\/h3>\n

March 4, 2015<\/p>\n

Massachusetts doesn’t have to put one group of people out of work to help another group struggling to get ahead. Expanding the earned income tax credit is important, but kicking the strong and growing film and television production\u00a0industry out of our state will only hurt our economy and result in thousands of Massachusetts jobs lost.<\/p>\n

Even critics of the production incentive acknowledge that the film tax credit is the primary reason film and television companies come to Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

Eliminating the\u00a0Massachusetts\u00a0film and television production incentive will drive jobs created by the production of motion pictures and television shows to competing states. It will destroy a growing local industry and cost thousands of local jobs with absolutely no benefit to the state budget or the working poor.<\/p>\n

Margie Sullivan<\/strong>
\nPresident of the Massachusetts Production Coalition<\/a>
\nExecutive Producer at Redtree Productions<\/a>, a commercial production company in Boston<\/p>\n
