Creative residents

My biggest problem with Vera's plan to give a small stipend to "young creatives" who wanted to live here was that it ignored those of us who have been here trying to contribute to the arts and culture. As a film crew person, one of my big concerns with the incentive money that gives back to film production in Oregon, is that there is no requirement to hire a certain percentage of local crew and therefore my tax money is going to pay for housing and per diem for an out of state crew hire. Also I think it's time to really consider a sales tax that would give to arts and music education, as those out of state crew members have per diem to spend and they might as well leave some of it here to help our economy.
