Wisconsin governor Scott Walker signed off on a bill pledging $250 million worth of taxpayer funding for a new Milwaukee Bucks arena Wednesday.
The Associated Press' Todd Richmond and Scott Bauer reported the news and included Walker's comments about the massive financial commitment that will span 20 years but amount to $400 million with interest:
This wasn't Republican or Democrat. This was a good example where people came together, not only across party lines but from all over the state of Wisconsin. I do what's right. I don't worry about interest groups, whether they be on the right or the left.
