IT'S NOT WELFARE WHEN IT'S RICH WHITE GUYS...:
The NBA Dunks on Taxpayers (WSJ, Aug. 19, 2015)
Last week Gov. Scott Walker helped dish a combined $250 million in state and local funding to help finance a new arena for the club. On the receiving end of this bundle of taxpayer cash are the three New York financiers who are the Bucks' principal owners-- Jamie Dinan, Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry. Each has appeared on the Forbes list of the world's richest people. Along with former Bucks owner Herb Kohl, they have graciously agreed to cover half the cost of housing their team.
