Diana Whalen says she’s heard from many people in the industry in the past couple of days and is taking their concerns seriously.
She says her department is double-checking its analysis of the credit, which costs about $24 million a year.
Whalen says there’s a lot of speculation about the future of the tax credit but those most concerned should simply wait to see what is in the budget.
