HEADLINES FROM 1972: Film and TV workers take aim at Nixon for criticizing tax breaks.

Cynthia Nixon’s platform for governor is a show stopper to these furious film and TV industry workers who used to share a set with her.

The “Sex and the City” actress and Democratic candidate for guv was blasted by production crew and small businesses after she bashed a big film industry tax break that helped earn her fat paychecks.

“If you had your way you would bring production to a halt, causing long term damage to the New York economy, and more personally, you would take away our livelihoods,” 40 vendors and crew workers with New Yorkers for TV & Film Jobs wrote in an open letter to Nixon defending the $420 million program.

On the one hand, it’s fascinating to watch a mass of Hillary supporting leftists rally to support a tax break.* On the other, it’s good to see Glenn’s “Repeal the Hollywood Tax Cuts” mantra finding “unexpected” east coast support.
