State Won't Help Brewers
Reacting to the just-released reviews of the Milwaukee Brewers' finances, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle told the club not to come looking to the state for help:
"We're not going to do anything to help them out. I mean, this is a private business.
"The fact that they need to put some more people in the stands and win some more games - they're a private business - that's their responsibility, not the state's."
Doyle and an attorney for the Miller Park stadium district both expressed confidence that a non-relocation agreement signed by the state, the stadium district and the Brewers would prevent the club from leaving Milwaukee before its lease expired, even though the Brewers' secured lenders aren't parties to the agreement.
