MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A proposed $500 million arena for the Milwaukee Bucks is back up before Wisconsin lawmakers.
The Legislature's budget committee is holding a public hearing Monday on a deal that relies on half the money coming from state and local taxpayers. Current owners and former owner Herb Kohl would contribute another $250 million.
Though the GOP controls both chambers and legislative leaders favor the deal, enough rank-and-file lawmakers have resisted the arena that the issue was broken out of larger budget talks.
