Goldwater Institute challenging Arizona film tax credits law

The Goldwater Institute is challenging a 2022 law that has the goal of bringing Hollywood to Arizona.  A new lawsuit charges that allowing the state to give away $125 million a year in tax credits is an unconstitutional gift to private companies that agree to produce their films and commercials in Arizona. Attorney Parker Jackson argues that reducing what someone otherwise would have to pay the state in taxes is no more legal than if the treasurer wrote out a check to the company. https://www.yourvalley.net/stories/goldwater-institute-challenging-arizona-film-tax-credits-law,558155
