MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Menominee Nation has offered to help pay for a new Milwaukee Bucks arena if Gov. Scott Walker reverses course and approves a new casino in Kenosha. Walker refused to give go-ahead last month. The tribe announced Tuesday that it would contribute $220 million to cover the state’s share of a new Bucks arena if Walker changes his mind. Walker wants to issue $220 million in bonds to help pay for the new arena, drawing the ire of his fellow Republicans. Walker’s spokeswoman reiterated in an email Tuesday that approving the casino would open the state up to significant litigation from the Forest County Potawatomi. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos opposes Walker’s plan. He called the Menominee’s proposal exciting but said everyone must accept Walker may never reverse his decision.
