On October 17th, Ray Carballada and Lobbyist Robin Ross met with Senator Corman, Chairman of the Senate Appropriations. Senator Corman expressed support for the Pennsylvania Film Tax Credit Program and seemed confident that it would continue to be in future budgets. Rose Mape, who is acting as the Pennsylvania Film Commissioner, said last week that they are preparing guidelines for next year’s credit program and asked for PaFIA’s suggestions on how to improve the guidelines. Ms. Mape said they were also deciding when to begin accepting applications for credits for the next fiscal year starting on July 1, 2012.
