Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin have tweaked their plan to help fund repairs at the Milwaukee Brewers' stadium to scale back the total public contribution by $54 million. A legislative committee approved the changes Thursday afternoon. Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says the full chamber will vote on the proposal Tuesday.
FILE - American Family Field is seen Sept. 15, 2023, in Milwaukee. Wisconsin Republican legislators announced Thursday, Oct. 12, that they have scaled back their plan to help fund repairs at the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium by $54 million, clearing the way for a vote on the state Assembly floor next week. MADISON, Wis.
Assembly Republicans released a bill in September that called for the state to contribute $411 million and the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County to contribute a combined $200 million from 2024 through 2050. The Brewers have agreed to chip in $100 million and extend their lease at American Family Field through 2050, keeping Major League Baseball in its smallest market for at least an additional 27 years.
Republicans touted the proposal, stressing that income taxes on Brewers employees would cover the state’s expenditures and residents would not face any new taxes. But Milwaukee-area leaders argued the cash-strapped city and county. The city increased its sales tax by 2% and the county doubled its sales tax this year as part ofRep. Robert Brooks, the plan’s chief architect, unveiled changes Thursday that would call for the city and county to each contribute $67.5 million through 2050.
The changes also call for a study on developing restaurants and bars on the stadium’s parking lots to generate more sales taxes.
