This details stuff is primarily a way to weasel out of taking a position.
And for some, they don't want to know the details. In Waukesha tonight there was a GOP primary to replace Sen Farrow who leaves office on July 17th. One guy running, Brian Dorow, almost made the arena his top three issue. And he lost. As of yesterday he was still running radio ads against the Bucks arena and telling people important questions haven't been answered like what happens to the arena debt if the Bucks move. I thought they were pretty clear all four governmental entities putting money into this have a clawback to pay back the $250 million. But for Dorow, the sound bite was what he wanted to use even though not accurate.
Of course his opponent who won is also against the arena, but doesn't seem to be quite as badly. Bottom line we need this vote before Farrow leaves office because Farrow indicated he could vote for it as a separated bill.
