♦ ♦ • ♦ ♦ ♦ Grand Valley Lanthorn [email protected] OPINION Thursday, November 18, 2010 EDITORIAL------EDITORIAL CARTOON Movie magic Some criticize the sustainability of Michigan sfilm incentives, but who else is going to spend millions of dollars in Michigan right now if the state stops attracting the film industry elites?

ichigan’s film incentives were instated in 2008, and by 2009,76 total projects had been completed for $305,983,113 in total spending, Maccording to the Michigan Film Office. Currently, the incentive includes a refundable tax of up to 42 percent of a production company’s expenses. GVL / Dan Sills and Shaun Morton There are specific rules and regulations for which productions qualify, who is considered a resident of Michigan and what is considered a direct YOUR INSIGHTS production expenditure. The bottom line is this incentive is making Michigan money, yet What could Student Senate have governor-elect Rick Snyder said it is time to phase out the tax credits. Michigan productions employed about 2,80() people in 2008 with a done to raise more funds for B0TV? total expenditure of $125 million. This grew to 3,867 jobs in 2009 with films spending more than $180 million, according to the Film Office. A 2008 economic impact report by Michigan State University predicted these numbers to keep increasing through 2012. The fact that Snyder wants to eventually eliminate these incentives would lead to a huge loss of revenue for local businesses and jobs in Michigan, something the state cannot afford right now. One of the concerns about the tax incentive is the large sum that the state is required to refund to these productions. From productions in 2009, "Grand Valley "It's all about "1 don't even "1 think we could "1 heard about it the state had to pay back an estimated $68.7 million, according to the needs to hire a transparency, we know what that have had more by word of mouth, 2009 Michigan Film Office expense report.

However, the indirect benefits outweigh the costs of the high tax breaks.
