Wisconsin’s Governor Scott Walker and his pet Senators in the state legislature just came up with $250 million to keep the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks in the state by building them an arena downtown. The deal will eventually cost taxpayers $400 million including interest.

In theory the team’s owners are on the hook for the balance of the cost of building this thing. Whaddya bet they figure out some way to wiggle out of their obligations?

Meanwhile, he cut the University of Wisconsin’s budget by $250 million (odd similarity in the numbers there, huh?).

Wisconsin can’t see the back of this man too soon, and the rest of us had better ensure he’s not elected President next fall.
