To Give or Not to Give Hollywood a Tax Incentive

Published May 4, 2011 at 5:00 AM PDT

Some folks in Nevada want to see the state give filmmakers more incentive to make movies here.  There are already 44 states with incentives.  Surprisingly, Nevada is not one of them.  Do we assume Hollywood wants to film in Las Vegas?  Are film projects really generating tons of revenue and creating jobs wherever they film movies?
