WI SENATE BILL ON MILLER PARK CALLS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY

          The WI Senate voted 23-10 yesterday for a "compromise
     bill" that would require the stadium board to disclose its
     financial transactions to the Legislature and public every
     three months and prevent the board from using the "moral
     obligation of the state" to back any further borrowing,
     according to Richard Jones of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL
     SENTINEL.  The bill also directs the board to meet one year
     after Miller Park opens in 2000 and set a target date for
     ultimately lifting the sales tax imposed in five counties to
     help pay for the project. The bill now goes to the WI
     Assembly (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 5/14).
