re: Phil Robertson of Duck Commander has passed.

I met the entire clan several years back. I was doing some consulting with the producers on their film tax credits. Some members of the family were gung ho on the production getting tax credits because they knew it could mean more money for them. Not Phil though. He said they didn't need to be on welfare.

Literally nobody believes the accusations. The Democrat leadership believes them least of all.
re: Why aren’t churches taxed?

Freedom of religion is a fundemental human right, and the authority to tax is the authority to destroy. You can't have both free exercise of religion and taxation of churches.
Now tell me do you think all not for profits should be taxed or just churches?

The only threat North Korea poses is to the scarecrows that make up their population.

Probably the only person currently who can stand up to the stupid LAGOP. I'm sure Kennedy could if he wanted, but would be an idiot to leave his Senate seat to be governor.
Kennedy won't leave the Senate as long as he can lob grenades, and give folksy quips on the news channels and face no actual accountability. He doesn't want to be governor because all the things he said he would do as governor in regards to cutting spending, and improving efficiencies were all fictions. He knew that when he said it, but he also knew people liked to hear it, and he would never have to answer to any of it.

Yes. And probably easily. The idiots of this state love a fellow idiot.

You’re plugged in up there. Any other reason for this?
This bill is one reason. He also had another dumb bill which gave the legislature oversight of the EBR GOP executive committee.

I’m confused by this, earned income should be subject to the standard deduction, NIL money is earned income.
I would assume most NIL money is paid to a loan out company, which may or may not be a disregarded entity. I have seen a couple different structures.

It was a stupid idea, and just insulting to anyone else subject to income tax. McMakin shouldn't get a second term.

I stand corrected, the law was changed a year or so ago.
I think you are confusing several different numbers. Productions can get an incentive of up to 40% of their qualified Louisiana Expenditures. Most fall around 30%,
They can sell the tax credit back to the state for 90% of its face value. About 85% go that route. The remaining 15% use the credits against state tax liabilities.

Again, ebbs and flows. The markets tank and rebound. The business is fickle.
New Jersey is doing ok for New Jersey, but the top 5 filming choices for producers are all international.
Toronto, UK, Vancouver, Central Europe, then Australia. California is sixth and Georgia is 7 then Jersey at 8. In GA only 3 of 18 crews are working, and while they say they have 20 productions 18 of them are reality shows.

Nobody’s making movies here anymore so who cares?
That is true. Almost nobody is making movies anywhere in America. The previous administration helped the unions strong arm the MPA into a contract that made domestic film production cost prohibitive.
I know a lot of local crew who have not worked in film since late 2023.

Shouldn't the bigger story here be that YET AGAIN the legislature failed to reduce our income tax? Something that was promised to be done when the state approved Landry's tax swop earlier this year?
We are going to get fricked so hard YET AGAIN by our politicians. Yet we seem to focus on a film tax credit when the film industry ship (seemingly) has sailed.
The details of why this failed matter. If we ever want to shed this program legislators need to understand the mechanics of it. They don't. If they sunset this program today, the state would not see any savings for about 5 years. No legislator is going to do something unpopular today for a benefit five years away.
