TEXAS: Why would the governor hire a registered Democrat to decide which filmmakers get $1.5 billion in taxpayer money? Stephanie Whallon, the head of the Texas Film Commission, gets to decide which movies taxpayers will fund. Why not get a conservative like Matthew Marsden @matthewdmarsden to pick the films we’re going to fund?
- I’ve warned about Abbott for the last 2 primary cycles. No one ever listens….. He’s allowing Texas to turn into an Islam third world state….. He’s playing the enemies are my friend game, has for years while everyone had their head in the sand…. It’s almost too late TX! Turn TX very, very deep red! – IBC
- Why the hell is there a “Texas Film Commission” that distributes taxpayer funds for an art form that should get support only from free-market economics and consumer choice. (USA is not communist!) – JTT
- We have moved so far from the original limited view of government that on matter such as this the only thing being discussed is “who gets to decide’. Nobody even asks whether or not it is a function of a government to pay for any filmmaking at all! – Josgal
