Here is a news story on KCCI-TV's website about film incentives resuming for existing projects and the general situation. There is a text version of the story along with video for it:

Culver comments in a clip included in the story, "We're not going to be taken for suckers, people unforgivably exploited that program." I ask, did any of the people who got jobs on the films that shot here and got paid for it feel like suckers? Did any of the hotels where film personnel stayed, or local businesses that sold to the films feel like suckers? Governor Culver was obviously sleeping on the job as any problems with the program developed and now that he's been shaken from his slumber he is "hrumpf!" outraged, simply outraged that anyone would dare take advantage of the holes that he and the legislature so nicely provided for them. Rather than admit mistakes and attempt to fix them he would rather freeze and then try to kill the program since it appears too taxing on his intellectual capabilities to find a way to fix the problems and make it work.
