#SaveOurBucks - Approve the new Milwaukee arena funding proposal!
The Issue
The Bucks are hoping to build a new arena in downtown Milwaukee. Their new ownership group will be paying $150 million towards this effort and former owner, Senator Herb Kohl, will also contribute $100 million for a total of $250 million. This represents half to cost towards a new arena. The local city/state government needs to approve a funding plan for the remaining $250 million. If a new arena is not built or at least under construction by 2017, the NBA can purchase the Bucks for $575 million (well below market value) and relocate the team. This new arena is not just about the Bucks, it's about revitalizing downtown Milwaukee and helping this city realize it's vast potential. Please sign this petition! Thank you! #SaveOurBucks
