Prosecutors filed felony charges Monday against three more people allegedly involved in Iowa's film scandal and upgraded charges against former film office chief Tom Wheeler. The scandal began in 2009 with rumors that two Hollywood producers had purchased luxury vehicles while making films, used the purchases to qualify for state tax credits and then drove the vehicles home. The whole thing led to the firings of a half-dozen people in the Iowa Department of Economic Development and it may have impacted Gov. Chet Culver in the governor's race against Terry Branstad. Investigators say the more they look, the more they find.
