I was with you through the Film thing. Its not "Over $100m" its closer to $70m and that does not include taxes paid back. The recently "corrected"Arrowhead study gives a less than generous 50c return on the $ and the E&Y study still after much examination hols up $1.50 even though most other States show a much higher return. So at worst its a revenue neutral prospect. There are 12k jobs that have been created with less than 4k being counted in the Arrowhead study as they only tailied "direct" jobs.I suppose all those vendors or service businesses don't count. If theirs a better suggestion or a cheaper way to create and sustain that number of jobs many of which are Jobs with Dignity and Justice ( aka Union Jobs with full benefits ) then take your suggestions to Santa Fe. They need some new ideas Huh ? I was with you through the Film thing. Its not “Over $100m” its closer to $70m
