Today, the Senate's Revenue and Fiscal Affairs committee will consider entertainment industry bills, including Sen. Adley's SB245, which would boost the production credit from 25% to 30%.
The hearing begins at 3 p.m. and should last until 5:30 p.m. You can learn more here.
I don't know if I'll be able to follow the meeting on Twitter (a la Friday), so I urge you to follow www.twitter.com/louisianafilmTV. The state film office's Patrick Mulhearn did a great job of following last week's session, and he'll be there again today ... as long as his battery holds out!

You need real player to watch
My basic feeling about today's committee hearing for SB 245? Lawmakers had some really good and pointed questions, and some really off-topic and uninformed questions. Though the bill passed favorably (7-3) from committee, I think the vote on the floor is going to be pretty tight. State's budget crisis is huge this year, and increasing the production incentive from 25% to 30% is not a slam dunk.
