LANSING, Mich. (WOOD) – The film tax incentives developed during the Granholm administration have been credited for the growth of the Michigan film industry. But those credits have been dramatically changed since Gov. Rick Snyder took office.

As part of his economic incentive plan and in an effort to balance the states budget, Snyder limited the total tax dollar contribution for this fiscal year to $25 million. That is far less than has been handed out in tax credits in years past.
