County Executive Crowley on Brewers Legislation
MILWAUKEE, WI – TODAY, Monday, September 18, County Executive David Crowley made the following statement regarding the new Brewers stadium funding legislation.
“The Milwaukee Brewers are an important asset for our community. While I have yet to see the proposed legislation announced today, I look forward to discussions with partners in the Wisconsin State Legislature and I am willing to work with them to find a common ground, bipartisan solution. However, it is important to recognize Milwaukee County is still facing a significant fiscal deficit over the next several years. Any new proposal by the State of Wisconsin must recognize that reality. I look forward to discussions with our State partners to identify a path forward that allows Milwaukee and the state to retain the Brewers, while providing Milwaukee County the resources to support our residents and communities in the years ahead.”NOTE: This press release was submitted to Urban Milwaukee and was not written by an Urban Milwaukee writer.

How about zero tax dollars to further capitalize the asset of a California multi-millionaire? County voters are 2-1 against any subsidy. It amazes me that our elected state, county, and city executives have ceded our negotiating leverage out of the gate on this issue.
