There is a perception to owning a family car. It’s an idea that power and sportiness were given up in the name of space and utility. But then there are also these two. For about $40,000 you can purchase well-equipped versions of the Infiniti QX50 or Dodge Charger Daytona — two very different vehicles that fight the humdrum lifestyle. The Dodge does a fine job of look- ing sporty. There are less expensive examples of the Charger than the Day- tona, but the dark 20-inch alloy wheels, blacked-out grille, LED accent lights, rear spoiler, and full body kit with flared wheel arches gives this one a much more sinister presence. One of the boldest standouts is the hood scoop, which doesn’t actually feed the air intake, but it does the job of mak- ing this look gutsy. And while we love how it shamelessly reminds everyone there is a “HEMI” engine underneath, the decal kit could use an upgrade in quality.

Instead, they went to California, Louisi- ana or Georgia, says John Lux, executive director of Film Florida, a nonprofit trade organization. There, money paid out in tax incentives brings in significantly more in spending, officials say. “Anytime a (Hollywood or New York) studio or producer called a local Florida film producer and said, ‘Hey, we’d like to bring this project to your area and we know our needs, budgets and time frame,’ we’d have to get to the financial conversa- tion. We don’t offer incentives anymore. But they could go to Georgia or New Or- leans and get incentives.” So they did. The makers of “Guard- ians of the Galaxy 2,” for example, which grossed $818 million at the box office since its opening last month, looked at Florida but went to Georgia.

Georgia companies for catering, makeup, construction supplies, set decorations, car rentals and more, says Emily Murray, a spokeswoman at the Georgia Department of Economic Development. The company also spent more than $75 million in actual production costs in Georgia. Florida, on the other hand, has offered no tax incentives since 2014 (the state still gives a sales tax break to companies that produce film or television here), and has budgeted none for the coming year, says Mr. Lux. That’s a sharp departure from the past, when the state used tax incentives to attract such films as “Dolphin Tale” and COURTESY PHOTOS “Iron Man 3.” “Bloodline,” filmed and set in the Keys, generated $9.4 million in state and local revenue and $30 million in production spending to the area. “Between 2004 and 2016, Florida had various programs to entice film, television and digital media companies and projects to Florida,” says Kelly Paige, outgoing president of Film Florida, and owner of Level Talent Group, a Tampa-based book- ing agency.

Americans for Prosperity, however, also insists that it’s a matter of fairness. “It doesn’t make sense to give one in- dustry handouts over others,” Mr. Malave says. “Why shouldn’t, say, plumbers get that money?” Although Americans for Prosperity has had considerable success lobbying against incentives in North Carolina and Florida, Mr. Malave offers only an oblique answer when asked about his organization’s activ- ities in Georgia, which have appeared to be far less energetic. “The chickens are going to come home to roost in Georgia,” he says.
