City Center Milwaukee | Day 269 | The Theme: "It is Cheaper to Keep Them", is a reference by Scott Walker - Governor, Chris Abele - County Executive and Tom Barrett - Mayor on June 4, 2015 for their decision to underwrite the NEW Bucks Arena, PLUS.
Surprise, Surprise
The June 4, 2015 Press Conference has now gone to mesmerizing of the state, county and city elected officials to "roll-over", promise assets of the People, and buy BAIT-N-SWITCH of job creation with the millionaire Herb Kohl and Billionaires Wes Edens and Marc Larsy.
We pay these folks well - elected-appointed-hired and donor for hire government representatives.
Why did they think they could disrespect the citizenry with this type of deal with nothing in writing to support the leveraging of the People's assets less an expectation of a 30-year incarceration for taxpayers' dollars?
Just the promise of JOBS.
Did they not see that the owners and developers came with specifics: a NEW Arena (or we will leave), special high-priced real estate, environmental perks, legislative law making, changes to present resolutions, changes to committees/boards/authorities, changes in the conducting of revenue, changes in approvals of "tax credits" for a tax increment district, use of our staff to prepare documents and meet to agree, and on and on. This is negligence by Walker, Abele and Barrett; and, all elected officials that VOTED yes.
We have not entertained or seen an assessment if the NBA BUCKS go and the present arena is REPURPOSED - is re-used and/or the use by another "national" team.
Below gives a fact check based around the Cheaper to Keep Them plan/Deal.
