HELP SAVE OUR TAX CREDITS!
Philly and Pennslyvania are now in the second year of it's
successful $75 million dollar tax credit program for the
film industry thanks to the work of the Greater Philadelphia
Film Office. The program creates a 25% tax credit to films
that spend at least 60 percent of their budget in the state.
But state Rep. Ron Marsico (R-Dauphin) wants the cuts repealed
immediately, and it will happen unless you help out!
Rep. Ron Marsico..."We need to repeal this tax credit
immediately, before the Commonwealth loses any more money.
Film tax credits are bad tax policy, especially in a tight
budget year, and an irresponsible priority for the sake
of a photo-op of a political leader and a Hollywood star
or starlet." ...read full press release
It is unfortunate that Rep. Marsico does not understand
how the tax credit is crucial to the ongoing and growing
film industry in Pennsylvania. We need your assistance in
helping Rep. Marsico understand that the tax credits are
important to you, your livelihood and your businesses. It
is important to note that the program takes at least a year
and a half to show results. Many films that applied the
first year have not yet wrapped production and are still
not in the statistics for revenues spent in the state, which
is why the tax credit appears as a loss.
We urge you to:
1. Contact Representative Marisco and tell him how important
PA's $75 Million Tax Credit Program is to you! Email
him here!
2. Call Your Legislator and urge them NOT to Co-Sponsor,
Support or Vote For any legislation to repeal the Tax Credits!

your Legistlator here!
3. Forward this message to your Colleagues, Family, Friends
& Classmates who reside in East Hanover Twp, Lower Paxton
Twp, South Hanover Twp, West Hanover Twp (Dauphin County)
to call Rep. Marsico to voice their support of keeping the
Tax Credits!
