MADISON, Wis. (AP) - November 21, 2008
During filming of "Public Enemies" - Wisconsin's first film
under the governor's new movie incentives - state highway traffic
was diverted away from the center of Columbus, 70 miles northwest
of Milwaukee. The detour road couldn't stand the load - and
collapsed.
Dodge County was left with a $116,000 repair. It's filed a claim
against the city of Columbus that could lead to a lawsuit.
But Columbus Mayor Nancy Osterhaus says talks are ongoing
between the city, county and film studio NBC Universal, with hopes
that they might split the bill for the March mishap.
"Public Enemies" is out July 2.
