Wisconsin Governor Signs Bill to Fund New Bucks Arena

Wisconsin Republican Governor Walker addresses his supporters at a rally on election night in Milwaukee

The scare of over for Milwaukee Bucks fans. It’s confirmed: the team will not be moving after all. Today, Governor Scott Walker, Republican presidential hopeful, signed off on a bill for a new Milwaukee arena.

There were some preliminary talks that the team might have relocated to Seattle, but that’s not happening.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker took a break from the presidential campaign trail Wednesday to commit $250 million in taxpayer money to pay for a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Calling the new NBA stadium a “dynamic attraction for the entire state of Wisconsin,” Walker signed the bill at the Wisconsin State Fair Park surrounded by state lawmakers, local officials and Bucks team president Peter Feigin.
