MILWAUKEE - The Republican leader of the Wisconsin state Senate says he is looking at alternatives to Gov. Scott Walker's plan to help pay for a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Thursday that Walker's plan calling for issuing $220 million in bonds is ``pretty much dead.'' Fitzgerald says he is talking with Milwaukee city and county leaders about other options that may or may not include state borrowing.
Fitzgerald says he believes a deal can be reached that doesn't include state borrowing, but he'll do ``whatever gets the deal done.''
