<DIV>Dear Ohioans- I recently learned that Governor Strickland vetoed the
Ohio Motion Picture Investor Tax Credit bill. Two local
actors composed the letter below, asking the Governor to reconsider his
decision. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can copy and paste it on Governor Strickland's website here:

<DIV>Naturally, you should edit the letter for accuracy regarding your

<HR>
</DIV>
<DIV>Dear Governor Strickland:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am shocked and saddened to learn that you recently vetoed the Ohio Motion
Picture Investor Tax Credit bill. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As a professional, union actor, I cannot understand why you put the state
of Ohio in this detrimental position while our neighbors in Pennsylvania and
Michigan--and indeed nearly every other state in the continental U.S.--all
currently have tax incentive legislation in place, and are reaping many millions
of dollars from ongoing and future film productions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Governor Strickland, sir, what were you thinking? This bill required the
state of Ohio to spend no money. All that was necessary was for the legislation
to be enacted into law and the filmmakers--both major studio producers and
independent production companies--would have come. Ohio has a wealth of
potential film locations, both urban and rural, that are begging to be utilized.
Additionally, as you surely recall, Ivan Schwarz, director of the Cleveland Film
Commission has stated in numerous articles and interviews that Nehst Productions
of New York City (which produced the highly regarded and profitable films "Sling
Blade" and "You Can Count on Me") was ready, willing and able to relocate its
corporate headquarters and production facilities to Cleveland which would have
brought in approximately $150 million in business to our state (and would have
generated a significant amount of corporate taxes, to say nothing of the tax
revenue from the wages earned by the actors, production and support personnel on
their projects), if only the Investor Tax Credit bill had been passed. As of
this moment, the company is filming in Detroit, but, despite your veto, they are
still more than willing to consider coming to Cleveland if the Investor Tax
Credit bill eventually becomes law.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you are really serious about reviving our state's sagging economy,
bringing new revenue and jobs (which also includes supporting union members!)
and halting population decline, you owe it to every Ohio citizen to seriously
reconsider your position on this vital piece of legislation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
