Republicans constantly complain that Michigan isn't business friendly enough, then when Granholm changes one aspect, they make up lies to the contrary. If this were passed under Big John, it would be hailed as innovative thinking.

Give her credit, this is one of her better accomplishments, despite the spin of cons and tea-bagger's.

"Michigan’s film subsidies may be enhancing the state’s image and producing pockets of new economic activity, but they’re unquestionably a net loser for state taxpayers, according to a report by the Senate Fiscal Agency released this morning.


The state Treasury doled out $37.5 million in subsidies in 2009 and is expected to distribute about $100 million to the makers of TV and film productions in 2010. But the estimated additional state tax revenue generated by film-related economic activity comes to only $3.7 million in 2009 and $10.3 million in 2010, the report found. "
