Hollywood has faced a tough last few years, with cascading challenges for the industry starting with the pandemic, the dual labor strikes of 2023 and a cutback in production.

That in turn ran up against major spending cutbacks in favor of more domestic spending preferred by President Harry Truman and the secretary of defense.

It said people were splashing out on entertainment and leisure but this was offset by cutbacks in some essential spending.

In each of the last two games, Corum made impressive cutback runs for significant gains, only to have each one nullified because of a penalty.

Those on both sides say they are willing to continue trying to reach a deal on how to apportion cutbacks in water use after 2026, when the current rules expire.
