Milwaukee Bucks president urges public dollars for new arena

MADISON - The Milwaukee Bucks' president is trying to persuade Wisconsin lawmakers to devote $250 million in tax dollars to a new arena.

Peter Feigin (FAY'gan) told the Legislature's budget committee Monday that the arena would be an economic boon.

Feigin says the project would create thousands of construction jobs, and that the team, as it improves, would bolster Milwaukee's reputation. He also noted that without a new arena, the NBA may move the team.
