Dodge County Files Claim With Columbus Over Filming Detour
11/22/08 - Dodge County officials said they got robbed for real when Johnny Depp came to Columbus to play the famous robber John Dillinger. County Highway T collapsed after being used as a detour from Highway 60 during the filming of “Public Enemies” – and Dodge County officials are saying they should not have to be stuck with the 116-thousand-dollar repair bill. The state D-O-T says it’s not their department, either. Regional Director Joe Olson said Columbus signed an application allowing the detour – and the city accepted full responsibility for any road damage. Columbus Mayor Nancy Osterhaus (left) says that might be true – but she still hopes the state will pick up some of the tab. She said “Public Enemies” was ballyhooed as the first movie to get the state’s new filming tax credits – and she doesn’t want to make it a bad situation for anybody. Osterhaus says the film studio has said it might help pay the damages. But Dodge County officials say talk is not money – and they’ve filed a damage claim against the city of Columbus. If the city rejects it, Dodge County can sue for the money. Scott Robbe of the group Film Wisconsin says a 116-thousand-dollar road repair is a drop in the bucket, compared to the movie’s 100-million-dollar price-tag. But Dodge County says they’re the ones holding the bag and they’ve asked Assembly Republican Jeff Fitzgerald for help.
