Behind a 21-10 bipartisan vote, the Wisconsin State Senate took the first of three steps toward keeping the Bucks in Milwaukee by approving $250 million in public funding for a new downtown Bucks arena.
“Today’s vote is a significant step forward in our collective effort to build a new sports and entertainment district in Wisconsin. We appreciate the bipartisan leadership in Madison for bringing this transformative partnership one step closer to reality. We’re optimistic that this financing package will receive support in the Assembly and look forward to working with state, county and city officials.” – Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin
The bill’s next big hurdle lies with the State Assembly before Gov.
