Walker's Stadium Subsidy

Wisconsin governor Scott Walker's support for a $250 million taxpayer subsidy for a new basketball arena for the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team comes in for some criticism from the Cato Institute's David Boaz in this Huffington Post article. Mr. Boaz notes the team is owned by three money managers: James Dinan of York Capital, Marc Lasry of Avenue Capital, and Wes Edens of Fortress. All three are major Democratic donors, federal campaign finance records show, though Mr. Edens has also given some money to Carly Fiorina, John McCain, and Rudolph Giuliani.
