L.A. Mayor Karen Bass is the latest politician to back an unlimited state tax incentive for film and TV production, following a similar move by her rival, Councilwoman Nithya Raman, last week.

Bass is facing a tough fight for reelection on June 2, and the dramatic downturn in production jobs has become a key issue in the race. As Assembly speaker, Bass helped pass the state’s original production credit lottery of $100 million. It has since grown to $750 million annually.
