Film vs computers

The Economist raises the question of whether movie stars could lure more money to the state than car makers in the latest issue.

Since the Louisiana legislature decided three years ago to give film-makers a tax credit of up to 15% of their total investment in the state and 20% of the wages to local residents, things have changed in bayou country.

Gov. Mike Easley proposes a similar idea to spur a once larger state film industry.

Wonder if it could be more effective than giving one company (Dell) $270 million in breaks?
