“The Louisiana Film and Entertainment Association (LFEA) has announced its intention to sue the Louisiana government on “constitutional grounds,” claiming – in what looks likely to be an uphill battle — that film producers have a right to tax credits and corporate welfare.”
Well now, here’s another “right” for the SCOTUS to “find” in our Constitution.
And so the courts will grind on and the lawyers for both sides will earn fat salaries, all of which will ultimately be paid by the taxpayers.
Tax credits are given on the assumption that jobs will result for the locals, gaffers, grips, technicians, etc. That hasn’t turned out as well as originally hoped, and Jindal knows it. They’re suing to demand corporate tax breaks? Hilarious. They’re getting breaks locally owned companies don’t get at all.
