After all, they were able to weather the death of the business in the early 90's (Hollywood boycott of NY and productions running to Canada). That lasted about 3 years before it turned around. Also, as far as I know, production of commercials hasn't been effected by this (I don't think they get any kind of credit), and that niche should make up a substantial part of P.F.T.'s business (assuming they're competitive). I'm also hearing some (fairly) reliable rumors that the Governor is planning to sign some version of a budget that will save the Tax Credit (although the percentage may be decreased).
