Comments
Virginia must act vigorously to protect and enhance its competitive stance in the film industry if it is to retain its creative work force and to enjoy the economic benefits now rapidly migrating to other states with strong incentive programs.
As a dedicated member of the Virginia Production
Alliance and the production community, I strongly
urge support of the Motion Picture Incentive Act
of 2008, SB 667.
