Gov.’s stance on tax breaks

So Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says it drove him “absolutely insane” to learn that Tesla Motors planned to take its environmentally friendly technology to another state.

So he gave them tax breaks to choose California over New Mexico. (“Electric car maker to stay in state,” July 1.)

It is really too bad the governor doesn’t go “absolutely insane” that New Mexico gives tax breaks to the film industry and California doesn’t.

Keeping production of a $60,000 car in California is more important to Schwarzenegger than providing jobs for those of us in the film business who choose to stay in California instead of moving to states like New Mexico.
