Legislative Update – Dec 2018

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE FROM BOYD BROWN
Tompkins, Thompson, and Brown

January is quickly approaching, and we are actively preparing for the upcoming legislative session.

We were all surprised by the switch up in the Ways and Means Committee chairmanship.  The new Chairman, Rep. Murrell Smith, and I were in the same freshman legislative class in 2000 and everyone in the firm has a very close relationship with him.   We will be meeting with him soon to brief him on our issues, including the need for increased funding for the film commission 

We are going to work to codify the existing provisos, and work to ensure the existing provisos remain in the upcoming budget as a safe-guard.   We are still seeking input on trying to find some kind of solution to the fiscal year constraints you guys have to deal with.  

We had a great meeting with select members of the JBRC.   Linda did a great job with her presentation and I think a lot of positive things will come from it.   The biggest take away was something that we all know:  there is a tremendous amount of support from key legislators for the SC film industry and a strong desire to see it grow. 

As an extra piece of good news, our new Ways and Means Economic Development Sub-Committee Chairman is Leon Stavrinakis.

Hope everyone enjoys the Holiday Season.  Let us know if you have any questions.

Hurricane Florence Relief for Wilmington

Please join the CFA in the Hurricane Relief efforts for our Brothers and Sisters in Wilmington, NC

Mount Pleasant Regional Airport, operated by the Charleston County Aviation Authority, is collecting hurricane relief supplies to airlift to flood-stricken areas in North Carolina and South Carolina after Hurricane Florence. According to Tim Doctor, Line Service Technician, there are two flights a day to Wilmington.

The drop-off location is the Pat Waters Community Hanger at 700 Faison Road, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29466. Drop-off hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. As of now, the relief flights will run through Friday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m.

Operation Airdrop will accept the following items: baby items such as diapers, clean and usable clothing, batteries, toiletries, dry food goods, non-perishable food and bleach. As of today, larger planes have been added and they can also accept bottled water and canned goods. Donations are tax deductible

Let’s take all those items we stocked up on and didn’t use and send them to our friends in Wilmington and surrounding areas.

If you have questions, call a Line Service Technician, 843.884.8837 or email them at info@iflyLRO.com

These pilots are paying for their own gas at $4 to $5 per gallon. If anyone would like to donate money for gas for these planes, call the number above and help out that way.
