Waste of $5 million dollars on Bradley Center
The Bradley Center is only 20 years old yet is getting $5 million dollars in state money for renovations. I guess that money will be put to better use for multi-million dollar athletes than providing renovations for the facilities that educate our children in our state. Yes, budgets are about making decisions and the worst thing we could possibly do is provide a facility that was given to the city of milwaukee with money for renovations. They have no mortgage and they can't even pay for their own renovations. Maybe some of those professional athletes that play in the that facility could provide some of the funds. From the source I found, the total salaries for the 15 players on the Bucks for the 2009/10 season is over $60 million which is only a $4 million average. I guess the players just can't afford it. We're in the worst recession in 30 years and we're spending money on professional sports instead of our future professional engineers. We wonder why we can't compete. I don't wonder. It's obvious. Thanks.
