Credit/No Credit?

Tax credits are a way to attract and keep a favored industry. In recent years, California has offered tax credits for movie productions shot in the state. This is an attempt to combat "runaway production" to other states, where the cost of making movies is cheaper.

But do the tax credits really work? Expert analyses differ. And is it wise or fair for California to give tax breaks to one industry, but not to others? A recent Los Angeles Times article discusses movie industry tax credits.
