‘House of Cards’ producers want more tax breaks – or else: report

[KoKo]

4. Desperate States want Movie Production Money...but the Tax Breaks don't really

bring in jobs from inside state because these companies bring in their own crews. The only advantage might be some fast food restaurants or Food Trucks make money and the higher profile restaurants get them at night when they knock off filming...but there's not much help in employment. It does give Tourist Value to say that "Such and Such Hit Series" was filmed in Maryland, NC, GA or SC or elsewhere. But, other than that...what does it really do for states to give such high tax breaks to bring in a few weeks or months film crew to provide jobs that aren't sustainable?
