Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin have tweaked their plan to help fund repairs at the Milwaukee Brewers' stadium to scale back the total public contribution by $54 million
Republican legislators in Wisconsin announced Thursday that they have scaled back their plan to help fund repairs at the Milwaukee Brewers' stadium by $54 million, clearing the way for a vote on the state Assembly floor next week.
But Milwaukee-area leaders argued the cash-strapped city and county can't afford such sizeable contributions. The city increased its sales tax by 2% and the county doubled its sales tax this year as part of a plan to avoid bankruptcy and deep cuts to services. Rep. Robert Brooks, the plan's chief architect, unveiled changes Thursday that would call for the city and county to each contribute $67.5 million through 2050. Their total combined contribution would now be $135 million.
