BRIEFCASE LAWMAKER URGES TAX CREDIT FOR FILMS.Byline: - Staff and Wire Services An area lawmaker Thursday introduced a resolution urging President George W. Bush and Congress to pass a law to provide tax credits for making movies in the United States. ``California is struggling to regain its economic footing after the recession of the past few years,'' said the sponsor of the resolution, Assemblyman Herb Wesson Jr., D-Los Angeles. ``The president and members of Congress have a great opportunity to help our state and our workingmen and -women by giving this incentive to the motion picture industry to curb runaway productions,'' he said. It is estimated that in 2001, the equivalent of 36,000 full-time jobs was lost in the United States because of runaway productions being shot in other countries. As of May, of the 36 films under production by major studios, one-half were being produced outside the United States. The resolution is to be heard in the Assembly's Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism, and Internet Media Committee next Tuesday.
