County Executive Crowley on Brewers Legislation

By County Executive David Crowley - Sep 18th, 2023 01:24 pm

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.”

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.
