Baker seeks to kill film industry tax credit, boost aid for low-wage workers

Metro - The Boston Globe: Governor Charlie Baker is proposing that the state kill a controversial tax credit for the film industry and expand one for thousands of low-income workers.

Baker’s proposed state budget, to be released Wednesday, will call for doubling the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit, which currently adds as much as $937 to the tax returns of low-income working families with three or more children. Within three years, that figure would increase to $1,873.

To pay for it, Baker calls for phasing out the state’s film tax credit.
