The whole deal appears to have been thought out extremely well. <br /><br />There was supposed to be a report released today in relation to the fiasco but it has now been "delayed."<br /><br />As for Michigan there were supposedly cash subsidies paid directly to the film companies that were not accounted for.<br /><br />Also there are supposed projections that indicate if the program continues as it currently is they will end up losing far more then they would earn. <br /><br />There is a lot of conflicting info on all of it.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-62109620603404882492009-09-30T19:42:31.215-05:002009-09-30T19:42:31.215-05:00I'm not exactly sure I get what the economic p...I'm not exactly sure I get what the economic problem here is, Michigan gave up 48 million in revenue to make 54 million in revenue?

So as long as I'm not going to see any benefit from them anyway, I might as well be given a slight chance of meeting a celebrity.<br /><br />But to be clear, I'm talking about state tax dollars.
