The Wisconsin state Assembly is set to approve a "plan to spend more than half-a-billion dollars to help cover repairs" at the Brewers' American Family Field. Assembly approval now sends the plan to the state Senate, and then to Gov. Tony Evers, who can sign it into law. Evers has said he "supports the revised plan." The Assembly plan calls for the state to contribute $411M and the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County to contribute a combined $135M. The state money would come "in the form of grants." The local contribution would be "generated from an existing fee the state Department of Administration charges the city and county for administering local sales taxes." Any fee revenue "not used to administer the taxes would go to the stadium" (AP, 10/17).
