The Wisconsin Legislature will discuss today a $546M spending plan for the Brewers' publicly owned American Family Field maintenance and renovation expenses -- in return for the Brewers' lease extending from the end of 2030 to 2050. The American Family Field funding plan "calls for the state to spend" $411M over nearly 30 years, with $67.5M each from Milwaukee County and the city of Milwaukee. The Brewers would provide $100M. That bill, "facing opposition from Republican legislators, needs votes from Democrats" to reach the desk of Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers -- "who supports the plan after his own proposal was rejected" by Republicans (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 10/17).
