Are Iowa Actors and Crew and Producers DOOMED????

During our weekly Iowa capitol visits last winter, Jay Villwock and I were assured by more than one Iowa republican official that former governor of Iowa Terry Branstad would most certainly support the Iowa film tax credit program. An article in today's Des Moines Register includes the below quote, which suggests to me that one cannot believe any Q$%T$%&^$%&$#%$% politician:

Branstad declined to say what economic incentives such as tax credits would likely be eliminated.

"It's pretty obvious that the film tax credit was not one that really meets the test," Branstad said. "We want to create permanent jobs, and we want jobs that will help us build a stronger and more successful economy in Iowa."

I've posted article after article citing how the film tax credit programs work with great success in many states and I included formulas that made these work, all from articles taken from published reports.

If Iowa doesn't get the movie program going again I will feel angry, sad, and ill.
