AMC Networks, which films its hit show The Walking Dead in the state, had also called for a veto. When you're trying to grow your state's economy by attracting television and film production, if a company such as Disney says "Hey, we don't like this bill. Stop it." you're gonna have to listen. The governer made the right choice, even if he didn't make it for the right reasons.Disney and its Marvel subsidiary had threatened to boycott the state, and a range of companies including Apple, Dell and Time Warner had urged the governor to veto the legislation.
