In the final days before the Tuesday election, L.A. Councilwoman Nithya Raman urged candidates for governor on Friday to support uncapped tax incentives for film and TV production.
Raman appeared outside Radford Studios with entertainment figures who support her mayoral campaign, including Mike Schur, Cord Jefferson, and Kay Cannon.
“We must ensure that Hollywood remains a reliable on-ramp into the middle class for Angelenos,” Raman said. “We must protect that before it slips further away.”
The dramatic downturn in Hollywood production has been a key issue in the races for mayor and for governor. Mayor Karen Bass has also called for uncapped state tax credits, has moved in recent months to cut city location fees, and has won the support of three below-the-line Hollywood unions.
Spencer Pratt, the former reality TV star, has accused his two rivals of failing to do more to stop the decline of industry jobs.
