These programs are important for the health of the local economy and provide yet another industry that provides jobs in Florida.

I just heard you speak for the Margaret Neidland Medical Center ribbon cutting in Jupiter, FL, a few days ago. I hope that you will support this very important initiative.

This state has been going to hell in a hand basket the last 6+ years. Please, do something for the people instead of YOUR pocket. Thank you.

I would love to see the magic of motion pictures convene with a world class destination. Please make this a reality.

The movie industry in Florida has the potential to bring in massive amounts of growth and development. It's time to realize the probabilities of smart government decision making that generates revenue for our state.

The Entertainment industry can only grow in Florida, providing more jobs and economic opportunity for our citizens. The trickle down effect is huge and should not be ignored.

Please Help keep me, also other Actors and people in the Entertainment industry from having to move to Georgia, Louisiana and other states in the Southeast region... where all the Film and Television is going because they're receiving tax credits for filming and conducting business there. I promise you, Tourism is influenced by people who want to travel to see where their favorite TV shows and movies are filmed and where the celebrities live. Just remember how the TV show Miami Vice rejuvenated the city of Miami's economy when it was in a downward spiral in the 80's.

I am a good-natured person that has the lifelong dream of making my own movies, but not by Hollywood standards. I am now a resident of Orlando and it'd mean the world to me if the art of filmmaking became prominent here once again.

It's in your hands. You can make Florida once again Hollywood south as it was back in the late 80' till the end of the 90's. EVERYONE wanted to shoot here and the exposure had a huge effect on the increase of tourists!!!!

I work in the film and tv industry in Florida. I know there are other's like myself that really need and want for more production's to come into Florida. Our state will really benefit from this because of the business owners we would be helping to make any production happen.

Please Help us Actors and people in the Entertainment industry from having to move to Atlanta, GA and other states where all the Film and Television is going because they're receiving tax credits for filming and conducting business there. I promise you, Tourism is influenced by people who want to travel to see where their favorite TV shows and movies are filmed and where the celebrities live.

The productions that are supported by the incentive funding not only spread money throughout our communities but they also promote the tourism industry in the state of Florida.
