What do other studies from other states show about film subsidies?
When it comes to film subsidies in New Mexico, the Rio Grande Foundation is about the only organization that publicly, clearly stands in opposition. Some even wonder if our position is legitimate given that it is such a “minority” viewpoint.
Media must accurately reflect range/ratio of perspectives. Is @DanBoydNM inaccurate or inconvenient? @pgessing @jfleck @MgallagherMike
