Local GOP Head Disagrees Bucks Deal Hurts Walker

A possible political liability, some analysts are saying, about governor Walker’s decision to push a taxpayer-funded Milwaukee Bucks arena deal. Something that could haunt him on the presidential campaign trail.  La Crosse county republican party chair Bill Feehan doesn’t buy it.  He says voters around the nation will have much more important issues on which to evaluate Walker than whether the governor brokered a deal for an NBA franchise.  Feehan agrees with Walker’s evaluation that it would be cheaper to fund a stadium for the Bucks than lose the team–and the tax revenue it generates–to another state.
