Ben Affleck filming in downtown Detroit last summer.
Could this be the end of Michigan's tax film incentives and seeing actors like Ryan Gosling and Ben Affleck running around town?
Gary Heinlein of the Detroit News reports that a House committee voted Wednesday to end the state’s $50 million-a-year subsidy of the film and television production industry.
The vote comes at a time the state is looking to trim its budget.
The News reports the bill to eliminate the program will likely get the nod from the full House, but could face some opposition in the state Senate where Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive, has expressed support, citing the job opportunities film production creates for skilled trades carpenters and electricians building movie sets.
