Hypocrisy Overload: Marxist Actor Danny Glover To Lead Rally For Hollywood Tax Breaks…


Shame on you, Danny! What would Hugo think about this?

Via Variety:

Danny Glover is leading a Saturday rally to support improving California’s film-TV tax credit at San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel.

The 10 a.m. rally — a first for Northern California — will also include appearances by The Meehan Bros. from “Last Comic Standing”; San Francisco Film Commission exec director Susannah Greason Robbins, assembly members Marc Levine and Rob Bonta; San Francisco supervisors David Chiu and Mark Farrell; Teamsters VP Rome Aloise; IATSE Local 16 VP Eddie Raymond and Fairmont Hotels VP Thomas Klein.

The campaign is aimed at pressuring state legislators to sweeten the current program, which is capped at $100 million a year and 20% of production costs — smaller than rival incentive programs in Georgia, Louisiana and New York.

“Nearly 40 other states and 30 other nations offered nearly $1.5 billion in tax incentives last year to lure jobs and wages out of California, and the percentage of films made in California has gone from 66% to 40% in just a few years,” a flyer for the event said.
