ASHWAUBENON (NBC 26) — The Stadium District Board met with Rep. David Steffen (R-Howard) last Friday and agreed upon a new proposal that in turn, suspends the legislation.
It was agreed upon by the parties that it would be best for the Stadium District to expand and enhance the transparency and financial oversight procedures relating to taxpayer-funded Lambeau Field expenses. Meaning, no additional lease negotiations or decisions would occur without outside legal counsel to help understand the current lease provisions or when evaluating amendments.
"Financial Transparency and oversight of tax dollars is a central responsibility of the Stadium District Board, and these enhancements will shine new and necessary light on Lambeau Field-related finances," said Rep. Steffen. "Further steps relating to the long-term future and financial relationship with the stadium will now be up to the community and its local leaders."
Back in November 2021, Rep. Steffen proposed to eliminate the Stadium District Board. A statement said it would reassign responsibilities and redress millions of dollars of assets.
