Schwarzenegger Signs California Budget Deal

If you thought that everything that has to do with the movies we see come out of Hollywood all come from the same place, think again. The truth of the matter is that more and more TV and film producers have been moving away from Hollywood – and the state of California, actually – in an effort to save on their expenses for production. It is but understandable, as the taxes in the state are quite notoriously high.

A natural consequence of this mass exodus of TV and film producers is the state’s government effort to stop them from leaving. And what has The Terminator done to do so? He has signed a bill offering considerable tax incentives to those TV and film producers who carry on with their production within the state of California.

If you are thinking that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is being a sell out by offering these tax cuts, you just might be wrong. Looking at it from another point of view, the fact is that he just might be doing the state a huge favor. If he didn’t offer these incentives, the state’s losses could very reach $10 billion by the end of the year. The tax incentives, on the other hand, involved $100 million per annum. Now compare those two figures….

The question now is this: “Is the tax program working?”

Apparently it is. According to Amy Lemisch, the executive director of the California Film Commission, she is swamped with calls from producers, directors, and studios, asking about how to keep production in the state. For us viewers, I guess this means “authentic” Hollywood films?

Dream On

Craig Gofman boy who loved football. He would go see all varsity football games, he never missed one. He never knew his father which he never met, who didn’t even find out his name, life, or anything. Until, he was 10, he asked his mom who his father was and why he never saw his face, his mother told him why. His father and his mother Denise dated early before the graduation of high school, they had intercourse in sophomore year in 1997 Denise was pregnant in 1998. In 1999 Dean had his last game. He was runningback for the team, he was the envy. It was the 4th quarter and 9 seconds left in the game. He got the Hail Mary passed to him 70 yards over; he caught the ball on the 10th yard line. Then his ankle broke, he fell to the grass in pain. He looked at the clock, 3 seconds left; it was 40 to 36, Spartans, he was 3 inches away from the end zone he reached for the line and the football touched the end zone and the buzzer went off. He closed his eyes and gave out a loud gasp. The crowd went wild, but Denise didn’t. She was the only one not throwing popcorn in the air jumping around and waving her arms. She got out her cell phone and called 911 she walked away from the noise. “Hello my name is Denise Jacquin I am here at the Jerseyville football field on Cross County Ct. Dean Gofman broke his ankle on the field and his out cold.” “Okay thank you.” She hung up. The Ambulance showed up pronto. They were carrying out a slide under bed in from the back. They picked him up and carried him to the truck. The truck drove 70 mph. Denise ran to her car and followed the truck. They carried him to the ER and Denise had to wait out in the hall for the results. The Doctor came out to Denise. “What, what happen?!” “He is………..dead.” “What!! How can he – die from a broken ankle well Ms. Jacquin. He died of undiagnosed cardiomyopathy.” “Would you like to see him?” See him. The words echoed in her head. “Yes.” She walked with the doctor to the room. She stepped in and saw him on the bed with a green line on a screen a straight green line. Denise felt something in her stomach. She felt weird she felt something wrong in her stomach. But she knew what it was. ‘Doc!” “What is it?” “My water… I think it broke!” “Oh, God.” “Everyone we have an emergency! This girl’s water broke!” People rushed over to her. She was brought to a bed in an ER. “Okay push, push!” ‘Ahhh!” After several minutes it was out. Craig Gofman was born 10:27pm February 22, 1999. The next week was the funeral for Dean Gofman. They buried him the day after. After the burial the cemetery was empty with a stone saying: DEAN EDWIN GOFMAN 1966-1999. Which brings us to today that story was told to Craig. He was 10 years old and his mom was pregnant with his sister. “So have any names for the baby?” “I like Claire” “Hmmm… Claire what Gofman?” “Claire Anne Gofman.” And went to school at St. Francis/Holy Ghost School. He lived in Jerseyville Illinois and found out he lived by the man who played against his dad the night he died. When he was playing football with his friends he got tackled by David Gregson the guy who lived by them son. He didn’t stop fighting him he kept punching him and Craig fought back. He went to a Notre Dame game with his mom and they got pictures infront of the Golden Dome and Touchdown Jesus. They saw Notre Dame play Syracuse but Syracuse won. He went to JCHS High School and signed up to play for the Jerseyville Panthers. He played for three years then it was the final game. It was 40 to 36 Spartans 4th quarter 9 seconds left. Denise imagined it like 20 years ago. Craig was passed a Hail Mary pass 76 yards he caught it touchdown. He didn’t see his mom so he ran to the hospital when he ran in the ER a baby was in a basket with that said Claire Anne Gofman
