In a brilliant move by the Menomonee Tribe and the Hard Rock folks, offering up $220 million to pay for the Bucks new arena if Gov. Walker approves their new casino.
What a smart move. The $220 million is exactly what the state was expected to bond out to help pay for the arena. They have essentially taken the state out of the mix, if Walker approves their new casino.
I don't know all the workings of the pacts and agreements that former Gov. Jim Doyle agreed to, but it makes sense to approve the new casino.
It will add jobs, revitalize an area of the state that has been hard hit for years economically. Lastly it will provide competition to the Potawotami casino. Competition is always good for the customers.
Not to mention the way that the Potawotami have gone about opposing the new casino has been nothing short of a child throwing a temper tantrum. Withholding funds owed to the state, kicking and screaming. All of that after they were allowed to expand onto their casino.
