Mel Gibson praises Trump amid LA wildfire visit

Mel Gibson on Hannity criticised Governor Gavin Newsom's tax incentives. He argued that the state's tax policies are insufficient, making it more cost-effective to film in Europe for several days than to work in California for just one day. "I know Newsom gave some tax incentives, but maybe not enough, because it’s still not working,” he said.
“And there are other things that offset that. I mean, I had to shoot a film for one day in LA, and it was cheaper for me to take the whole crew and fly them to Europe and shoot for three days, lodge them, and fly them everything than it was to shoot one day just down the road. So there’s something wrong there, and I think there are solutions,” Gibson remarked, according to The Hill.
