Vos Says Assembly Republicans Unlikely to Support AmFam Money From State

Friday, April 14th, 2023 -- 8:00 AM

(Bob Hague, WRN) Speaker Robin Vos says Assembly Republicans aren’t jazzed about any American Family Field funding from the state.

Vos, who’s already rejected Governor Tony Evers' proposal to send $290 million to the stadium district board, did say Thursday that he’s working to help his caucus understand the economic impact if the Brewers were to leave Wisconsin.

That includes $11 million in annual sales tax revenue and the $12 million in income taxes from players' salaries, including those from visiting teams. Vos said he wants a long-term deal that is fiscally responsible.
