This week’s tracker includes a look at the arrest of a legislator in Maryland for indecent exposure and trespassing and a bill in Wisconsin that would fund a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Weekly highlight

Del. Ariana Kelly (D)
  • MARYLAND: Last week, the Washington Post reported that Del. Ariana Kelly (D) was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and trespassing following a dispute with her ex-husband, Barak Sanford, on June 27, 2015.[1][2] According to court records, Kelly was dropping off her children at her ex-husband's house when she discovered that her ex-husband's new fiancée was at the house.[1] Upset, Kelly demanded to speak to her ex-husband. At that time, according to the statement made by Sanford, Kelly started ringing the doorbell and banging on the door repeatedly.[1][3] The charging documents show that Sanford played a cellphone video to the police that showed Kelly ringing the doorbell and then exposing her breasts in the direction of his cell phone.[1] After the police arrived at Sanford's house, they tried to convince Kelly to cover up and leave, but she refused. When an officer told Kelly that she could be arrested for indecent exposure, Kelly allegedly put out her wrists to the officer and said, "arrest me then."[1][2] Kelly has not made a statement about her actions, but her attorney, Luiz Simmons, told the Washington Post that she would be "aggressively disputing" the charges.[1] Kelly and Sanford were divorced last November.[1] Her trial is scheduled to begin on August 13.[3]
Wisconsin State Legislature
  • WISCONSIN: The future of Milwaukee's NBA franchise was made less precarious after the Wisconsin State Senate approved a $250 million funding plan by a vote of 21-10 last Wednesday. Under the plan, the Milwaukee Bucks would put forward half of the $500 million needed to construct a new arena, with the remainder being split between the state, Milwaukee County, the city of Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Center District. Also, a $2 ticket surcharge would be imposed for events at the new venue; lawmakers contend that this will lower the burden on taxpayers.[4][5]

The team currently plays at the Bradley Center, which opened in 1988 after a $90 million donation funded its construction; however, league commissioner Adam Silver (then deputy commissioner) deemed it unfit following a tour of the facility in 2013.[6] Team president Peter Feigin told the legislature's finance committee this month that if a funding package did not pass this year, the league would buy the team and relocate it; Seattle and Las Vegas were named as potential cities.[7]

Although the bill passed with bipartisan approval, there was no lack of vocal opposition. Tim Carpenter (D), a season ticket holder to the Bucks, voted against the bill due to a lack of public input, adding that "the burden of paying for the construction of the new arena should fall on those who would benefit from its construction." Robert Cowles (R), who represents an area including parts of Green Bay, cited a locally approved renovation of Lambeau Field for the NFL's Packers in arguing that his constituents should not have to pay for an arena in Milwaukee. Chris Abele, a Milwaukee County executive, also took issue with the final bill. Sen. Chris Larson (D) successfully moved to eliminate a provision that would have funded the county's share of the funding through state-run debt collection; Abele called this "disastrous," saying that funding cuts to social services and public transportation could be a consequence, and that the move shields those who have not paid property taxes. Larson said that his vote in favor of the funding was contingent on this change, saying, "I don't like the optics of saying we're gonna build an arena on the backs of people who are struggling." Instead, the county will lose $4 million in state aid per year to cover its share.[4][8]

The state Assembly is expected to pass the funding as well; Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke (R) said that his leadership team would go over the bill with Democrats this week before it progresses further.[9] In a joint statement, leaders from both parties said that they "are optimistic that a vote on the measure will take place in the next few weeks." The Assembly next meets the week of July 27.[10]
