The poor struggle to keep warm and to have food during this time of the year
when Christian celebrate the birth of Jesus. Why not pay all for these wealthy
investors movies.
It will trickle down | 9:21 a.m. Dec. 15, 2007
A good economy will help us all. I wholeheartedly support measures like these to
encourage big businesses to spend their money in Utah. In turn, more jobs will
be created, more taxes will be levied, and our economy will get stronger. All
these things have an effect on all of us, including having more money available
to support food banks and shelters.

Granted this movie defies the laws of tradition when it comes to sequels but $2M
is a bit much. $1M (double the last incentive) would be sufficient.
Unfortunately the "trickle down" affect doesn�t
necessarily work like most would want. i.e.: the bush tax cuts/refund. When an
economy struggles people tend to save their money. The real issue here is Utah
needs to step it up and keep the geographical structure of their financial
investments centralized. A prosperous business district is incentive enough. SLC
downtown is a ghost town. Perhaps the public works could create more jobs and
actually plow the downtown area like any other downtown area in any major city
in the states would be...spotless. What I�m getting at is
Utah needs to become flawless at its basic functions before pumping money into
any entertainment related incentives. There's an advantage of being 2 years
behind NY and LA (and many more) Let us learn from their mistakes and properly
plan for the future as opposed to just trotting along like Idaho or any other
neighboring state.

it's great that they choose Utah to film in, but when are they EVER going
to make a film that takes place in Utah as well? I don't know about you
all, but I'm kinda tired of my state filling in for Colorado, Arizona,
Idaho.. and a normal film too, nothing about polygamists, or mormons..

I say do whatever it takes to get the filming of HS Musical 3 in Utah. It
benefits many!
to jtm | 11:29 a.m. Dec. 15, 2007
jtm, movies don't take place in utah because utah is not cool. Only people
in utah think it is. Have you ever lived (or traveled) outside of utah? People
don't give a rat's behind about it.

What a waste of taxpayer money. Most Utahn's couldn't care less about
movies being made here. The financial benefit to a few isn't worth the
price the rest of us pay to bring these types of business in. As for UT not
being "cool," so what? Maybe all you cool cats should find a better
place to nest than this decidedly uncool state.

JTM: Mega dittos on that! When the WB network filmed Everwood up in Ogden a
couple years ago, it was supposed to be in Colorado. What a joke, lol!

Hey don�t chase away the cool people just yet, we are the
reason SLC is slowly emerging to be a noted pin on the U.S. map (us and the
International Airport). Imagine NY, LA, and SLC...together we can help speed up
the insanely slow process of evolution that resides between the coasts.
