The Hollywood left isn’t shy about using its celebrity to try to force public policy outcomes. Right now a group led by actress Alyssa Milano is pressuring Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp over a bill that’s just come out of the Republican-controlled legislature banning abortions in cases where a fetal heartbeat can be detected.
In the old neighborhood, we’d call that an incredible act of “chutzpah,” as if so few people could really have that much of an impact on an industry as large as Georgia’s film and television business is supposed to be. And while many of the names are known, they are hardly the kind of super A-Listers who can make or break an entire sector.
“It’s important to keep in mind that states are at best fickle and at worst foisting unnecessary burdens on taxpayers to solicit the business of filmmakers, one of the most lucrative business in the United States,” says Baehr, a non-practicing attorney who has, over the years, helped write the laws in several states regarding the tax credits, breaks, and refunds given to the motion picture industry.
