Governor Evers has signed the deal to spend a half-billion dollars in taxpayer money on the Brewers ballpark.
The governor yesterday went to American Family Field to sign the package. The agreement will spend just over 350 million-dollars from the state, and another 135 million from Milwaukee and Milwaukee County on renovations and upkeep at the stadium over the next 27 years. The Brewers are also kicking-in 100 million-more. The governor says the package is a good deal for taxpayers because it keeps the Brewers, and the quarter-billion dollars in taxes the team generates, in Milwaukee til 2050.
