BREWERS STADIUM LACKS VOTES IN SENATE; POSSIBLE ACTION TODAY
Published October 3, 1995
Those in support of a plan to build a new stadium for the
Brewers admitted Monday afternoon they still do not have enough
votes to pass a stadium bill in the Senate, but "agreed to push
for Senate action" on the measure today, according to the
MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. Senator Peggy Rosenzweig yesterday:
"We don't have enough votes yet, but we will by tomorrow." While
WI Gov. Tommy Thompson said stadium supporters were five votes
shy of the 17 needed in the Senate, Brewers officials said former
Brewers Hank Aaron and Robin Yount would be at the Capitol today
lobbying on the stadium legislation. Brewers President Bud Selig
and GM Sal Bando will also be on hand to generate support for the
measure (Amy Rinard, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 10/3).
OPPOSITION: Meg Jones notes in the JOURNAL SENTINEL that a
letter signed by eight Racine County supervisors calls for the
county's corporation counsel to draft a resolution challenging
the constitutionality of the stadium plan's proposed five-county
sales tax increase. No legal challenges can officially be made
until the bill is signed into law (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL,
10/3).
