The state inspector general says a production company received more $1 million in tax credits for expenses that were inflated or never incurred in the making of "The Sean Payton Show" and a reality television show that never aired.
The company's attorney disputes the findings, noting it supported all of its spending with documentation as Louisiana Economic Development required. Further, he questions the sources for the information provided to the inspector general and TV news reports.
Horizon Entertainment and Productions, owned by Jason Sciavicco, produced two seasons of "The Sean Payton Show" and worked on "Saintsational," a reality show about the New Orleans Saints cheerleaders.
