HB 4539 by Goldman: Expanding Corporate Welfare
PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Oppose
Senate Journal Page: 2016
HB 4539 seeks to decrease the percentage of the production crew that must be Texas residents to qualify for a grant under the moving image industry incentive program. Ultimately, HB 4539 would make it easier for those seeking corporate welfare to get it. Government should not be in the business of stealing from taxpayers to give corporate welfare in the form of reimbursement for major events. This practice is antithetical to free enterprise and TFR opposes all subsidies and corporate welfare.
