MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A $614 million Republican plan to fund American Family Field improvements is greeted cautiously by Democrats.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Governor Tony Evers said it’s unfortunate Republicans rejected a proposal Evers’ made earlier this year to spend $290 million in state money to fund Brewers ballpark renovations.
Evers looks forward to reviewing the Republican proposal and continuing conversations.
Assembly Democratic Leader Greta Neubauer of Racine and Assistant Leader Kalan Haywood of Milwaukee said the Republican proposal falls short of recognizing the regional benefit of AmFam Field and places too great of a financial burden on the city and county of Milwaukee.
