And when I've talked to mayors about this, they've said, if you really do that, I'm in.
So let me say this.
I'm a super competitive person.
I am on Team California.
Hollywood is by far the greatest collection of film and entertainment talent.
Not the stars, but right down in all the jobs in the world.
People are trying to buy our business, buy the business that basically Los Angeles invented.
We can't let that happen.
So I have a long list of things we need to do, but it starts with tax credits.
People shoot in Canada because it's cheaper, or they shoot overseas because it's cheaper.
How can you fix that?
Part of it's tax credits.
Tax credits?
Part of it is looking at the regulations and trying to take that away.
But in the long run, it's driving down costs, which is my whole campaign is about driving down costs for working people, housing costs, healthcare costs.
But in the short run, I don't want to lose this.
Every tax credit brings back $1.14 to the state of California.
We can't lose this because people buy our business.
That is not okay.
And we can't lose this because we've been so, the perfect is the enemy of the good.
