'Sarah Palin's Alaska' To Receive $1.2 Million In Tax Credits

"Sarah Palin's Alaska," the 8-part TLC reality show, is set to receive $1.2 million in tax credits, helping the program's producers recoup a third of the $3.6 million they spent filming in the Frontier State.

According to a measure, signed into law by then-Gov. Palin in 2008, crews filming in Alaska are eligible to receive subsidies for around 30 percent of their operating costs.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports:

The subsidies are in the form of transferable tax credits. Many of the companies claiming the tax credits do not have to pay much, if anything, in the form of Alaska taxes, so they sell the tax credits to companies. There have been reports the going rate is 80 to 90 cents on the dollar. Some have been sold the same day they were issued.

1. Everything that's filmed in Alaska

gets a tax incentive -- the difference being that those guys out on the crab boats, the ice road truckers, and the stupid gold miners in Haines aren't potentially running for a national office. In my opinion, she shouldn't have gotten any assistance from the state with her multi-part campaign ad.
