AB 1780 was sponsored by Bring Hollywood Home in 2014. The California Legislature never debated the excellent law because it was killed in the arts and entertainment committee by special interest pressure by just one vote from Marin County where the entertainment industry may not be as visible? Not being able to see the effects of the job losses up close might have been the reason one lawmaker killed the bill! We can bring it back with public opinion! Please read the bill there is a link to it on the petition site! NO cap to tax credits! A business model for distribution of tax credits instead of the political way the tax credits are given out now sending billions of investment dollars out of California. Join us sign the petition and let's CHANGE the course of job outsourcing with more jobs coming into the creative economy than going away! Sharon Hardee Jimenez founder president www.bringhollywoodhome.org. We already have 4200 signatures on our Bring Hollywood Home on our Facebook Causes page now the great folks at BigSkyTVshow.com are starting a change.org petition that we hope you will support as well. The supporters of Bocanegra have launched a PR campaign to say the new tax credits your political rival passed are the answer to California's runaway production problems! This is NOT true! The truth is the Bocanegra bill was heavily lobbied for without one amendment and going to the Senate with just two weeks to pass leaving no serious amendments possible from the other house. You need to find allies in the Senate now and grab the language of AB #1780 and let's pass a bill that really changes the tax credits and stops excluding minority and women independent productions in film, TV, commercial, music, new media and video game production. Big Sky wants to do family friendly California historical drama and shoot in California. They are 100 percent behind us and will help us win back Hollywood for our families!
