MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin state Senate has approved a plan to spend nearly half a billion dollars on repairs at the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium over the next three decades. In October, the state Assembly approved a plan for the state to contribute $411.5 million and the city and county of Milwaukee to contribute $135 million. The version of the plan approved by the Senate on Tuesday ratchets the state contribution back to $365.8 million. The chamber approved the legislation on a 19-14 vote, sending it to the Assembly for approval. Gov. Tony Evers’ spokesperson, Britt Cudaback, has said the governor supports the plan.
