Fantastic News for Missouri Taxpayers!

By Christine Harbin on Nov 17, 2010

Maybe I spoke too soon. The Tax Credit Review Commission just voted to recommend cutting the film tax credit program in Missouri!

I have written 21 blog posts, and also an editorial, on the specific subject of the film tax credit program in Missouri. Maybe this recent recommendation indicates that people listened to me!

The committee also voted to recommend ending other tax credit programs during that meeting, including the Distressed Areas Land Assemblage tax credit and the Rebuilding Communities tax credit.

I applaud the commission for recommending aggressive cuts to these particular programs, and I hope that the legislature adopts them. I am thrilled that the film tax credit program may be ended soon; I don’t want to jinx it!
