Hey, remember how awesome it was last year when Wisconsin started its film incentives program, giving tax credits to filmmakers, enticing them to make their movies here? Remember how Hollywood said “Yes, please!” and decided to film Public Enemies here with a promising actor named Johnny Depp (previous projects)? Remember how much money the whole thing was going to make us through movie production costs and tourism?

Well, stop remembering all that shiz. Governor Doyle just proposed eliminating the program. And people are not happy. From TwinCities.com ...

• The move drew a quick negative reaction from Doyle's lieutenant governor, a fellow Democrat who has helped lead the state's fledgling film making industry.
• "It makes no sense," Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton said.
• The year-old tax credit program places no limits on how much money state gives qualifying filmmakers, and "Public Enemies" alone collected $4.6 million last year.
• Doyle wants to replace the program with a $500,000 annual grant program for projects that create permanent jobs in the state. No films will come under that plan, Lawton said.
• "It'll shut down the industry," she said. "They won't come. They can't."

When the Lieutenant Governor’s teed off, you know something’s up. Critics say the program is a disappointment, not snagging as much cash as hoped for. Supporters say it needs more time to grow.
