Should Michigan continue to subsidize Hollywood Profits?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Dear Rattle With Us Writers Group and other Friends….
 
With the ongoing fight to fund Roads repairs rather than rely on May 5 Tax increase, the Films Program is again in the Legislative spot-light. Do you fully support, partially support (at a lower rate, or perhaps by DEMANDING a $1/fee per Movie ticket sold in Michigan in order for Movies/Films to support such a related subsidy?!?!), or want the Program completely eliminated once-and-for-all?!?! …
 
Write to YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES, Newspapers, Websites, and/or FORWARD to your friends/family/neighbors: share your thoughts on Films Program and how you feel monies should be raised/allocated/or-reallocated-from to that end….

We are NOT providing any Sample letter with this mailing. Instead, we invite you take place in a WLNS (Lansing TV) Poll on the topic (and, if you choose, you can add to the discussion there (as you will see that I did) as well as sending a LTE): http://linkis.com/wlns.com/2015/03/04/gLfzE
See the Roads discussions: http://rattlewithus.ning.com/forum/topics/sales-tax-increase-2 comment section, page 2, to find a Letter from State Representative Todd Courser who suggests the Films Program “should” be eliminated to help Fund the Roads Projects instead!
Which, again… Any “sample” Letter, PRO or CON, is strictly the opinion of the Author and (again) provided in hopes of inspiring you to also get involved with writing, agree or disagree, a Letter To Editor (or respond to a blog on a website) yourself and may or may not be necessarily endorsed by RWU leadership….

      If you follow me on Twitter: @JLenardDetroit you know I go to the Movies a lot and tweet out reviews (or you can see my Movies piece here at RWU: http://rattlewithus.ning.com/profiles/blogs/more-anti-americanism-c… (updated regularly)). Therefore I do like the Program, as I like to see as much of Michigan highlighted when/where possible (some movies do that, others don’t, and subsidies should be based (from “Pure Michigan” advertising benefit) upon that)! HOWEVER, this should NOT come at the expense of the deteriorated Roads. IF the Michigan legislature is to keep the Program, it should be funded by adding a .25, .50, or $1 per Movie ticket sold in Michigan method!!! Let movies, and those who go see them, subsidize the Films! PERIOD!!! Instead, of course, these things (often) go unquestioned/unchallenged at Budget time and the usual excuse of Police, Fire, ROADS, etc… are used as the only HAMMER TO EXTORT MORE TAX REVENUE from Citizens!
