Dirty Michigan?

So far, just rumor
New state tax incentives may be taking hold

Will Michigan star in next Clint Eastwood film? | Freep.com |

Janet Lockwood, director of the Michigan Film Office, wouldn’t confirm that Eastwood is heading our way.

“Until the paperwork is signed, I can’t make any announcement.”
