Especially since the Menomonee Nation offered to help fund the arena if the state approved the building of a casino in Kenosha. That meant that the arena would have been entirely privately funded along with bringing more jobs to the state. Walker turned them down.

Taxpayers should not be funding sport arena period. That is not what taxes are for.

You are overlooking the compact with the Potawatomi tribe signed by former Democrat Governor Jim Doyle; you know, the one where he kept the Wisconsin legislature out the negotiation process.

You have to lay that argument at the doorstep of Jim Doyle and the Potawatomi nation.
