The California Film & Television Tax Credit Program -- part of last year's budget agreement -- has achieved its desired goal of keeping scores of film and television productions in state, according to Governor Schwarzenegger. The Governor's press office announced that the program successfully created and retained tens of thousands of jobs and generated spending in California.

The California Arts Council announces an open invitation to their webinar on the agency's 2010 Strategic Plan and its impact on the arts and related issues in California. The California Arts Council's Strategic Plan serves to guide the agency's direction over the next three years.
