Some tweets about the 'deal'' just made on Walker's budget..

Fitzgerald: Taking Bucks arena bill out of the state budget. Optimistic there will be enough votes to get the arena completed.


Legal Eagle ?@legaleagle 59s60 seconds ago

Fitz says Sen thought “early on” it’s important for MKE Dems to support Bucks deal. Which is why they were excluded from early negotiations?


Greg Neumann ?@gneumann_wkow 2m2 minutes ago Wisconsin, USA

Both @SpeakerVos and @SenFitzgerald say they are confident @Bucks arena deal will pass as separate bill with bipartisan support.
