Walker’s office made the initial announcement of the governor’s intentions and invited lawmakers, among others, to join him for the momentous event.
The bill was specifically put in place to cover half of the estimated $500 million arena project. The Milwaukee Bucks and their organization are subsidizing the other half.
Walker has displayed a tremendous amount of support toward the Bucks and their efforts to keep the team in Milwaukee over the last few months.
