The Packers are getting two million-dollars in tourism money to help with the NFL Draft in Green Bay.
The budget-writing Joint Finance Committee yesterday included the money in the state state budget. Lawmakers also added 10 million-dollars to the tourism budget for the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, and another 10 million for other large event attraction. Two Green Bay lawmakers asked for the two million for the draft, saying it is an investment that will pay-off when thousands of people spend millions of dollars in Green Bay in 2025.
