Sure, because the newspaper that counts on sports coverage to boost circulation doesn’t have a bias on this issue.
—Walker’s motto is that it’s “Cheaper To Keep Them” — them, meaning the Bucks — and the numbers back him up—
If the numbers back Walker up then the numbers support his strategy, and thereby Walker’s policies. What’s the problem?
As for the public schools, and the whinning unions, Walker’s right on with that as well. Too bad he can’t scrap the whole educational system and start over. Maybe the kids’ll learn something.
Around here, it's a real sore issue. The county gov "invested" millions for a Browns scoreboard. That's for events most residents of the county can't afford to attend. That's while towns and cities are starving because there's not enough money for local services. Then there's cigarette taxes being used to fund stadiums where there's no smoking.
Small government pols just don't use tax money (whatever the source) for unnecessary construction projects.
So if Governor Walker wants to drug test welfare recipients getting financial handouts from the state then will they be drug testing the owners of the Milwaukee Bucks?
I read daily hit pieces on Walker in my local socialist rag, the La Crosse (WI) Tribune. It is refreshing to read a somewhat positive article.
I think that the team should change it’s name because the current name is sexist. They could have called it the “Does” but they chose the masuline “Bucks”. I think the MSM and the national womens group should start a national petition to change the teams’ name to the “Dollars”. But that might be offensive to other nations who use different currencies. Maybe they should just call them the “Team with no name”. But that might be offensive to teams with names. Oh I just can’t fully understand this PC crap.
Having a major sports franchise in your city is good for the economy, duh, that’s why governments sometimes fund stadiums.
I misread the headline as “It’s cheaper to keep Buicks”. And until they disintegrate, usually it is.
