VIDEO : New York's Cuomo To Decide Fate Of TV Diversity Bill

New York governor Andrew Cuomo has until midnight on December 18th to approve or veto a bill that would provide a tax incentive for hiring women and people of color to write and direct television in the state. The legislation, which borrows from existing state law that addresses historic inequities in other parts of the state economy, would be the first of its kind in the country. Earlier this year, the bull passed both the Assembly and the Senate. The long campaign to get a TV diversity bill to the Governor?s desk has been supported by prominent television writers, directors, producers and filmmakers including Tina Fey, Sarah Treem, David Simon and Beau Willimon.
