The top Republican in the Wisconsin Assembly says Milwaukee and Milwaukee County are likely going to have to kick-in for the Brewers’ ballpark.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos yesterday said the city and county are going to need to spend something to convince lawmakers to put up the rest of the 300-million dollars the Brewers say they need to repair American Family Field. Vos says taxpayers around the state expect Milwaukee to help out. Vos has said for weeks that he doesn’t want to see a deal where Milwaukee gets all of the benefits of a newly remodeled ballpark without having to do any of the heavy lifting to make it happen. No one is saying when a vote on the Brewers’ ballpark package could come.
