Sunday Scorecard: Don't use Miller Park tax for new Bucks facility

Last week, Tim Sheehy of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce suggested extending the Miller Park sales tax as a way to finance a future renovation or replacement of the Bradley Center. The 0.1 percent tax, established in 1996, is still a delicate subject in the five-county area where it is in effect. Extending it to build a new facility for the Bucks makes sense on the surface but it is the wrong solution.
