I like the plan because in exchange for state funding, a percentage of gross revenue from players’ salaries, stadium concessions, ticket sales, etc, would go to repaying the taxpayers.

I’m opposed to a corporate bailout for multimillion dollar sports clubs. If they really need public financing, it should come with conditions. If they don’t like those conditions, they’re free to look elsewhere.

And when does that part EVER happen?

This might be good for his Chamber of Commerce buddies. But there's nothing conservative about the state funding the stadium.

Walker's off my list. He's just another Chamber of Commerce water boy with no DC voting record. I trust him about as much as I'd trust Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, or Chris Christie.
