Bristol Palin's Reality Show Got $354,348 In Tax Credits From The State of Alaska | ThinkProgress

Bristol Palin's Reality Show Got $354,348 In Tax Credits From The State of Alaska | ThinkProgress:

 "It’s true that the show generated some revenue for the state, though it’s hard to tell if it was enough to justify spending those subsidies on this particular program, rather than attempting to attract another show to Alaska, or holding off on spending it at all. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, which broke the story of the tax subsidy, notes that the production reported spending $995,275 in Alaska, though not all of that money went to people who live in Alaska, and about $500,000 of that spending went to on-camera talent for the show. The benefits of the program were not exactly broad, or oriented towards creating a lot of new, long-term Alaska jobs."
