Maryland House of Delegates threatens to seize 'House of Cards' property if show leaves you dems are out of control, NAZIS SHINGTON -- "What would Frank Underwood do?" That's what one Maryland delegate asked himself when it came to dealing with "House of Card's" production company. Media Rights Capital has said it would leave the Old Line State if it didn't get millions of dollars more in tax credits from Maryland. On Thursday, members of the Maryland House of Delegates threatened that if the show left the state, officials might use eminent domain to seize the show's property, according to The Washington Post. The show, which stars Kevin Spacey as a cut-throat politician who will kill to get to the top, is set in D.C., but much of it is filmed in Maryland. Del. C William Frick, D-Montgomery County, proposed the threat, which was quickly approved. "I literally thought: What is an appropriate Frank Underwood response to a threat like this?" Frick told The Post. "Eminent domain really struck me as the most dramatic response." The Maryland Senate would have to agree to the move and Gov. Martin O'Malley would also have to approve it. In an effort to keep the Emmy-winning show filming in Maryland, the state Senate voted to increase the tax credit for production companies from $7.5 million to $18 million. The amendment approved by the Maryland House of Delegates says that the Department of Business and Economic Development can "exercise certain powers of eminent domain" to acquire the property of a film production company that has claimed more than $10 million in tax credits and then ceases filming in the state, The Post reports. The acquisitions could include sets, equipment and other property. Although the show is already receiving million of dollars in tax credits, it is also beneficial to Marylandby employing residents, impacting businesses, drawing attention to the state and boosting the economy. On the House floor, Frick says while people love the show, the production company's threats about leaving "went a little far."

President Romney Hounded by Media After String of High-Profile Republican Arrests by John Hayward 27 Mar 2014 155 post a comment What would be going on now if Romney had won? This is dead on. President Mitt Romney wanted to talk about his meeting with the Pope today, but instead he was besieged by a swarm of reporters shouting questions about the remarkable string of high-profile Republicans arrested by the FBI, or resigning under federal investigation, over the last few days."President Romney, several prominent Republicans were arrested yesterday, including the mayor of one of the nation's largest cities, on charges ranging from corruption to purchasing weapons from international terrorists," a reporter shouted from the crowd. "Does your Party have a problem?" This was the refrain on talk shows across the land. Media analysts discussed the astounding hypocrisy of a leading Second Amendment proponent and NRA ally in Texas - whose long career in GOP politics included service as an officer in the state legislature - facing indictment for an astonishing series of charges related to his involvement in a gun-running ring. "This guy was always talking about gun safety, how he's a champion of the right to keep and bear arms for law-abiding people... and here he's raking in big bucks trying to put automatic weapons and freaking missilesin the hands of gangsters!" thundered Chris Matthews of MSNBC, immediately before suffering a stroke live on the air. Other Republican officials in deep red states saw their offices raided by FBI agents this week, as part of investigations into political corruption, and even child pornography. Meanwhile, questions swirled around the embattled Republican Senate Majority Leader after revelations that he funneled tens of thousands of dollars in campaign money to his granddaughter - an amount much larger than he originally admitted to, after facing an inquiry from the Federal Elections Commission. Many Washington observers say that while these payments may prove to be a minor infraction of campaign finance law, the "appearance of impropriety" would haunt the GOP during the upcoming midterm elections. "It's entirely appropriate for reporters to be hitting the President with tough questions about these incidents," a CNN executive said on background. "I mean, you're talking about all these officials in different states - a big-city mayor, a major national player in the gun-rights movement - going down simultaneously. The Senate Majority Leader is in trouble. Some of the details of these cases are simply amazing - people are going to be buzzing about 'Shrimp Boy' and that Republican mayor fanning himself with wads of illegal cash for years to come. There's no way to keep stories this juicy off the front pages. President Romney absolutely has a crisis on his hands." http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2014/03/27/President-Romney-hounded-by-media-after-string-of-high-profile-Republican-arrests
