Ax falls on Miami film office, county expects to feel effect

MiamiTodayNews: "Despite a late outpouring of support, the City of Miami balanced its budget without including any of the Mayor's Office of Film and Cultural Affairs' about $245,000 budget.
'The smoke cleared from the financial battlefield, and I had to let my two fulltime people go,' said Director Robert Parente.
The budget reduction means he's now under the city manager's budget with a main focus on film permitting, Mr. Parente said. He has kept a part-time receptionist who is not trained to help out in permitting.
'I might look into training' the part-timer,' he said."
