Beverly Press Park Labrea News: Friedman highlights efforts to strengthen Hollywood businesses

U.S. Rep. Laura Friedman (D-Burbank) spoke to local business, health care and nonprofit leaders at a roundtable hosted by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

The group discussed Friedman’s proposed national film and TV tax credit, efforts to expand affordable housing, immigration reform and preparations for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“Last year, Hollywood was unsure of what was to come net. Runaway production, skyrocketing health care costs and masked agents kidnapping our neighbors threatened our community. This year, I was proud to present solutions – a roadmap for Hollywood and everybody who lives here,” Friedman said. “The path ahead runs through the bipartisan national film and TV tax credit and jobs bill and House Democrats’ plans to make health care, housing and groceries more affordable. that’s what I’m fighting

for, because Americans need relief now.”

Friedman met with Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Ron Frierson and COO and legislative director Dan Halden, as well as representatives from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, The Center in Hollywood, Hollywood 4WRD, CHA Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles, BARDAS Investment Group, John Gile & Associates, Fountain House, Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood, Being Alive LA, Netflix, New Filmmakers LA, Sunset Gower Studios, The Hollywood Partnership and Film Independent.
