Democrats at the Wisconsin Capitol say they want to see a lot more money from the Brewers’ owner before they agree to spend any taxpayer dollars on American Family Field.
Team executives met with Democratic lawmakers at the Capitol yesterday, just days after statehouse Republicans unveiled a plan that would spend 600-million in taxpayer money to pay for work needed at the Brewers’ ballpark Milwaukee Democratic State Senator Tim Carpenter, whose District includes American Family Field, says he wants to see 200-million dollars from the Brewers owner. The current plan calls for just 100-million dollars from the Brewers. Other Democrats say the current plan asks too much from both Milwaukee and Milwaukee County.
The proposal would have the city and county pay about 200-million towards the future of the ballpark.
