Gov. Branstad Quote From Beth Malicki Interview

On the Iowa Film Office
"I think it was ill conceived and badly managed that while tax credit- I think that was a mistake."

"I think we can have film in Iowa. I don't think we need to give a big tax break to people who don't live in Iowa and don't pay taxes in Iowa. We need to revamp it. I want to restore the film office. I want to do it in a way that's efficient and economical and I believe that based on that we can attract film. But if we spend more than we benefit, it doesn't make sense."

  1. If given blindly with nothing real in return, Branstad is right. But film incentives can be used as a tool to get what we want here if properly supervised and designed.
