Tax credit dispute over Iowa film program and alleged approvals
Campbell says Wheeler copied New York film office documents nearly verbatim to create Iowa's tax credit process. The brief asserts supervisors and the Iowa Department of Revenue knew of and approved practices cited in criminal charges, including computing up to 50 percent credits and in-kind or deferred payments. Six ED staff ousted or resigned, with no comment from agencies.
