Batman in the 'Burgh: The city lands another high-profile movie close-up

Post Gazette: "It took a few dozen movies for Pittsburghers to become blase about klieg lights and film crews clogging the sidewalks. That's the price we pay for being 'Hollywood on the Mon.' Between the state tax incentive for shooting films here, skilled workers with competitive rates and a film office that hustles, it's a wonder that most Hollywood movies aren't made here.

This is great that they are coming to shoot some of the Batman movies hear in Pittsburgh. It is interesting that they are shooting this movie in a few different place but I guess that this not all the interesting because the big budget movies go to where the scenery is. I thought for them to get the tax break that they needed to spend half of their money hear in Pittsburgh not spend it all so in other places. Also there is a cost to this they cut back the funding for higher education hear in Pennsylvania and i know of a lot of kind that go to public college that are offered that they will not be able to pay for school. Is it worth it?
