WTF? Why should Sacramento subsidize overpaid actors and union goons in Hollyweird?

I think this is the issue, more so than tax credits, although those are surely one consideration. Many of these production companies are seeking lower labor costs, and the Southern states can offer that, whereas all California can offer is ever-escalating labor costs, courtesy of the unions.

It's just one more instance where union labor has managed to price itself out of work, to the happy benefit of others who have avoided doing so.
