California Governor Candidates Debate Hollywood's Future Amidst Production Flight Concerns
During a CNN-hosted debate in East Los Angeles, seven candidates for California governor discussed strategies to retain Hollywood's production industry, which is facing a significant flight to other states and countries. The debate, which included both Democrats and Republicans, saw candidates like former Rep. Katie Porter and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa advocating for unlimited tax credits for film and TV productions, beyond the current $750 million cap. The debate also highlighted the competitive nature of the race, with candidates using the platform to attack each other's records and policies.
