MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Governor Tony Evers is hoping Senate Democrats can back an Assembly bill funding upgrades to American Family Field.
“And I think we’ll get there,” said Governor Evers. “I’m encouraging people that I can influence on the Senate side.”
Evers said he’d support a ticket tax on non-Brewers events and auditing the stadium district, which are suggestions made in the state Senate
“My goal is to sign that bill, period,” said Governor Evers.
The plan passed with bipartisan support in the Assembly.
It would use roughly $550 million in tax revenue for work at the Brewers ballpark.
Senate President Devin LeMahieu has said the chamber does not have a Republican majority willing to pass the bill. That means some Democrats would need to be on board.
