Bucks president says arena deal needed in next 10 days (The Associated Press)

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Milwaukee Bucks' president is pressuring legislative leaders to finalize a deal on a new arena.

President Peter Feigin told business leaders in Milwaukee on Tuesday that a financing deal needs to be done within 10 days so the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee can consider it.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1cX7XRf ) reports that Feigin said, ''The clock is ticking.'' His comments came as the Bucks are playing the Bulls in the NBA playoffs.

The team wants a plan passed in the state budget in June so ground can be broken in the fall.
