It is a an inappropriate use of taxpayer dollars. Plain and simple. Offering Economic development incentives to Disney is like offering money to wall street.

I think if we are inviting anything in, it is a business which will bring much needed jobs. I think people want to live in Santa Clarita because they want a certain quality of life they could not have where they moved from. I know I did. I wanted a nice affordable small house that I could afford on my own, in a decent neighborhood, with pretty scenery, clean streets, less crime, friendly people, and responsive government. I was able to find most of what I wanted right here. I personally vote my conscience and not by party affiliation. Both parties have things I agree with and both have things I disagree with. So I guess you could say I am a Demolican. I don’t think it is about being Democrat or Republican. I think if we are inviting anything in, it is a business which will bring much needed jobs.

Has anyone considered that Republican Santa Clarita is inviting the elite liberal Hollywood right wingers to come here? Oh my! It’s the overblown expectations, that’s all.

Sheesh Let me see, are we upset because they are empty sound stages that bring no jobs to SCV or are we upset at the loads of car traffic on our streets?

Studios are shutting down many in-house services and using contractors and rental houses which are non-union. I agree that this is a good thing having Disney bring a green industry local, just don't expect manna from heaven because of it. BTW, 24 years in the industry but what do I know!

And, at best case scenario, every stage booked every day... either with set construction, production, or teardown... those are still people coming and going from the facility. If it were just a bunch of stages, I'd agree... but its not. It is more involved (by what Disney is saying) that that. Brian-
