(AP) — MOVIE MECCA: Since Michigan approved hefty tax incentives for moviemakers, it has seen a 20-fold increase in films approved for production in the state.

CRITICS: Some groups representing Michigan businesses don't like it that out-of-state movie companies will get generous checks from the state for coming to Michigan.
