That's where I live too, and I'm certainly not getting any tax cuts. Giving the movie industry (or cola bottling plants, or koi farmers, or widget makers) a break isn't going to benefit me unless I'm in one of the favored groups. I agree that we're not likely to get general tax relief out of Sacramento. Probably the initiative process is the only way. Thank God for Prop 13, though; it's requirement of a 2/3 majority vote for tax increases is the only reason taxes aren't even worse than they are.
I think they were trying to sleaze their way around it in some hokey legislation in our last election though.
