On Monday, senators and representatives of the Joint Finance Committee joined in Madison for a hearing on the proposed deal for a new downtown Milwaukee arena.
The hearing consisted of a series of questions from state senators posed to the state’s Legislative Fiscal Bureau. Many members of the Senate are still undecided about the proposal, and a vote was expected this week, possibly even today, but will now likely come next week. The senators that were present used the hearing as final clarification on the specifics of the deal.
After the first round of questions, State, City, and Bucks officials were given the chance to give their opinions on the arena proposal.
