Spitzer’s exit threatens his tax-credit plan

The Hollywood Reporter

The film business has seen its share of prostitution
scandals, but few could’ve imagined that one involving a New York
politico might impact the landscape of film and TV
production.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned Wednesday because of his connection to
a call girl investigation. Now it will be up to Lt. Gov. David
Paterson — who takes over the governor’s job Monday — to step in
and bridge the divide in the state Legislature over Spitzer’s
aggressive expansion of film and TV production tax credits.
