Senator Nancy Cassis
Michigan State Senate
Dear Senator Cassis,
I represent an organization that advocates and educates on behalf of creative workers worldwide, but specifically the metropolitan Detroit area. I am writing to express my strong opposition to legislation you are sponsoring which will create onerous burdens on the film industry’s fledgling efforts to grow here in Michigan.
My organization is working hard to develop and incubate the many expressions of creative abilities found in the diverse metropolitan Detroit area and it is my firm belief that our lawmakers should be working in concert with such efforts, not against it. Michigan’s economy can become one that is largely fueled by creative industries such as filmmaking, game design, software development, and research and development, but we must not step back from the initial foundation that is still taking shape to make this happen. The legislation you are sponsoring would cause this to happen, and would be a travesty if allowed to become law.
I urge you to reconsider further pursuit of this legislation.
With great concern,
Dr. Robert McTyre Sr.
Founder and President
Creative Community of Metro-Detroit
