Why would we "Mainers" want to pay for this man and his family to stay in Portland?? Why would we give "them" huge tax exemptions and refunds?? I have lived all my life in Maine and I don't get any "tax exemptions or refunds"!! When are we going to wake up and take care of our own?? I ahve nothing against "them" making movies in Maine but, are they not in it for a profit?? "They" will surely make plenty of money from their project!!!! NUFF SAID!!!!!!!!report abuse

The KJ's negative slant on most of these things will eventually lead to the end of once great newspaper. Their view on these filmmakers and the idea behind it was something I would expect from a sixth grader not educated adults.report abuse

My take on the filmmakers' offer was that they were being up front and candid about the realities of the situation. The KJ's article was, I thought, somewhat snotty. Aside from the KJ's judgemental tone, rejecting the advantages to Mainers of accepting their offer for the silly reason advanced by the KJ strikes me as just as dumb as those Repub legislators who'd reject Obama's federal aid to their states because they don't like Obama.

But then, of course, the filmmakers weren't offering anything that would help the KJ.report abuse
