MI Auditor General needs to do performance audit of Michigan Film Office
March 20, 2009
Michigan's Legislature needs to belly up and start providing some real accountability to a new state program where state taxpayers' money is used to give millions of dollars to Hollywood filmmakers.
The Michigan Film Office submitted its annual report which, according to the Mackinac Center, doesn't provide information demanded by state law and appears to make the program look more successful than it is.
The Michigan Auditor General is an arm of the Legislature and is well-regarded for its ability to separate fact from fiction.
All its takes for them to start an audit is for a legislator to request it.
