I'm an IATSE union member in a state that has been recently surpassed by your Iowa state tax incentives. My take on the effectiveness of state tax incentives has been something less than to be desired, for me personally. Yes I have sporadic day player work, followed by a return to the state unemployment rolls. I see a significant number of out-of-state union production employees. I realize that production companies have to be allowed to bring in their management and front office teams. My point is that this incentive was sold to the legislature with the blessing of the governor, and the general voter selling points are one, to bring millions of dollars into the state as wages, purchases, accomodations, and various local independent businesses involved as vendors. True that. However, I believe that the general public expects that the maximum number of their citizens be employed in these productions. That is not always the case. I am actually considering going "on the road" if I come to think that's where the consistent employment is to be had. I feel it is an incentive to keep the carnies busy and out of jail, well, for the most part anyway. I might be sneaking your way. Peace, Hawkeye - Toby Tyler</BR></BR> Oct 12, '09
