THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL...SENATE REPUBLICANS INTEND TO ELIMINATE THE FILM INDUSTRY IN PA

TODAY, SENATE REPUBLICANS INTRODUCED SENATE BILL 850, an alternative to the governor's budget proposal. This bill eliminates financial support to the state & regional film offices. The elimination of these offices signals a strong intention by the Senate Republicans to remove the film production tax credit program, thereby eradicating this emerging industry in Pennsylvania.

This bill will be up for a vote this Wednesday, May 6th. We NEED you to call and e-mail the Senate Republican Leadership immediately to voice your OUTRAGE against SB 850.
