Cream City Boondoggle

In a sane world, this would be a bigger scandal than steroids:

↵↵In 1995, the state legislature passed a law creating a new five-county sales tax to underwrite a new stadium for the Milwaukee Brewers. At the time, the tax was expected to sunset in 14 years, in 2010. Yep, that was two years ago, and the sales tax just keeps getting collected, and its sunset date moved back. The latest estimate for its end is 2018 — six years from now.

↵↵And if you’re curious about how much money the Brewers ponied up for their own stadium, read the whole thing.
