Dave Armstrong of Rice Lake, Calvin Callahan of Tomahawk, and Karen Hurd of Withee as well as Sens. Julian Bradley of New Berlin and Patrick Testin of Stevens Point, recently circulated a co-sponsorship memo seeking to rally support for the proposal.\u00a0<\/p><p>As with the earlier bill, the memo notes Wisconsin is one of just five states with no film office or commission and one of 10 with no production incentives.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cState tax incentives are a lucrative strategy that allows Wisconsin to benefit from increased economic activity,\u201d authors wrote. \u201cIncentives attract filmmakers and their projects, which contribute to local businesses, job creation, and tourism \u2014 boosting the overall economy. Under LRB 2456\/2810, no money leaves state coffers until the production\u2019s expenses are spent and justified.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p>Along with establishing a State Film Office under the state Department of Tourism, the bill would create tax incentives for film production companies equal to 30% of eligible salaries or wages paid as part of producing a film, video, broadcast advertisement or TV program, with various limits such as the production needing to exceed $1 million in budgeted expenditures.\u00a0<\/p><p>The legislation would also establish similar income and franchise tax credits of 30% for production expenditures and 30% of certain property purchases, remodels or repairs within the company\u2019s first three taxable years doing business in
