NY lawmakers blast proposed ‘Tonight’ tax credit
The Associated Press//March 23, 2013//
Listen to this articleALBANY — Some New York lawmakers are upset with a proposed tax credit that would benefit NBC if it moves “The Tonight Show” from California to New York City.
As reports circulated that Jimmy Fallon is poised to become the show’s host, Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed a bill that would give a 30 percent credit to any “relocated television production” that films before a large studio audience, has a $30 million budget and has been on the air for at least five seasons.
Republican Assemblyman Jim Tedisco tells the New York Post that it is “outrageous” to be giving a tax break to a talk show while the state is preparing to cut funding for the developmentally disabled.
Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb called the credit a “bad idea” on Twitter.
