Texas State Rep. End Film Incentives to Combat Weinstein?

Who: Texas State Rep. Shaheen

His argument to end the Texas film incentive program & The Texas Film Commission: 

  • Texas shouldn’t be in business with Hollywood. By way of example he offers Harvey Weinstein.
  • Inappropriate use of Texas tax dollars
  • ““I have always believed that this is an inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars,” Shaheen said. “And given the apparent culture of sexual exploitation of women in Hollywood, it is now even more clear that we should not be wasting taxpayer money on this industry.”
