Governor Pawlenty's 2010 Supplemental Budget Recommendation proposes cutting all operations funding for the MN Film & TV Board


If adopted, the proposal means the end of the Film & TV Board and its work. The reduction in funding for the Snowbate film production jobs program to $525,000 from $1,225,000M in 2010 and elimination thereafter will deal a terrible blow to the film and television industry in our state, will cost our state good jobs, will diminish our economic vitality and will drive more of our young people to leave Minnesota in search of opportunity.
