MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin legislators have approved a plan to spend nearly half a billion dollars on repairs at the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium over the next three decades. In October, the state Assembly approved a plan for the state to contribute $411.5 million and the city and county of Milwaukee to contribute $135 million. The version of the plan approved by the Senate on Tuesday ratchets the state contribution back to $365.8 million. The chamber approved the legislation 19-14. The Assembly approved it Tuesday evening. It now goes to Gov. Tony Evers, who is expected to sign it into law.
