MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — On baseball’s Opening Day, Governor Tony Evers’ pitch to spend state funds on the Brewers’ ballpark is still viewed with caution by Republicans on the legislature’s budget panel.
Joint Finance Committee co-chair, Representative Mark Born, says the plan needs serious work.
“The governor just kind of plopped this plan out there without any explanation, any show of the real need,” said Born. “We’ve got a lot of work to do just to communicate with folks across Wisconsin about what this means or what reasonable plan might look like.”
Evers’ budget proposal included $290 million for upgrades at American Family Field, an amount that almost certainly won’t make it into a final budget.
