MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — As of Monday afternoon, a funding deal for the Milwaukee Brewers ballpark lacked the needed votes to pass the Wisconsin Senate on Tuesday.
“It’s important to me that we have pragmatic state contribution, which leads me to want to negotiate a lower contribution than where it sits right now,” said Minority Leader Melissa Agard of Madison.
Agard said she also wants representation from Milwaukee County and the city on the stadium board.
The American Family Field package will need 17 Senate votes in order to pass.
The deal calls for $375.4 million from the state, $67.5 million each from Milwaukee County and the city of Milwaukee and $150.7 million from the Brewers.
