IF GOVERNOR LUJAN GRISHAM GETS HER WAY, THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO COULD BECOME A BLOCKBUSTER FORCE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM IS TALKING ABOUT TAKING THE 50-MILLION DOLLAR CAP OFF FILM REBATES IN THE STATE … THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR MARTINEZ DID HER FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE.
BUT NOT EVERYONE IS WITH LUJAN GRISHAM ON THIS MOVE. HOUSE SPEAKER BRIAN EGOLF SAYS GETTING RID OF THE CAP ISN’T NECESSARILY THE ANSWER. HE SAYS STAFFERS ARE LOOKING INTO DIFFERENT OPTIONS … ONE THAT INCLUDES REMOVING THE CAP FOR TV PRODUCTIONS, BUT KEEPING IT FOR MOVIES.
