The film industry proposal was just cancelled in Senate Finance for tonight.
The new time is 8:30am tomorrow morning.
Griego's SB 613 will not be heard, and may never. Griegos's bill that we want and just passed in the Corporations committee on Friday is being completely ignored.

HB 607, the budget bill with the $45 cap will be heard instead. John Arthur Smith is the chair of the Finance Committee, and he is calling the shots. Smith is one of the strongest voices against the film industry in the entire Legislature. He is the one who introduced the bill to cap all film and television productions at $2 million.
Michael Sanchez just ordered pizza for the whole senate.
Word is they will not be off the floor before 8pm, and will still go to Committee to hear HB 607.
Our message is this:
No annual cap!!! Keep the 25%! Don't kill our business!
Our most immediate need is bringing people out to this Senate Finance Committee Hearing, AND we need people to lobby Senator Nancy Rodriguez.
She is a democrat from Santa Fe.
She is a democrat from Santa Fe.
The word is: in person! She may not be responding to email or phone messages, and can be requested on the floor anytime tonight.
Our second most immediate need is to buy airtime to air a commercial being shot tonight highlighting the benefits of the film industry for local business. We need the voice <<and dollars>> of vendors and businesses tonight!!
IF YOU CAN'T COME TO THE ROUNDHOUSE, PLEASE DONATE!
