Do it, I did.
NC got alot of the industry that left Central New York because of high taxes and I know for a while, there was a big push to get filmakers there. I think "Last of the Mohicans" filmed there.
Welch-Allyn in Skaneateles, NY opened a plant there because it was cheaper.
If the country thinks arresting a witness on a phony charge for intimidation purposes is the norm, I think they will care.
