Earlier today the State Assembly passed the $250 million bill providing taxpayer funding for half the cost of a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks. The Assembly vote was 52-34, with bipartisan support (and bipartisan opposition) to the bill.
Here’s a breakdown of how Milwaukee’s Democratic Assembly delegation voted on the Bucks arena bill:

David Bowen
Jonathan Brostoff
Voted For
Mandela Barnes
Evan Goyke
Christine Sinicki
Josh Zepnick

Daniel Riemer
As a point of clarification, Daniel Riemer did not vote because he’s on vacation.
So here’s your chance to share your opinion. Is this a good deal for Wisconsin’s taxpayers, or do you think it’s a bum deal?
