Capital City Sunday: Tim Carpenter discusses voting no on the Brewers funding bill.

Published | Video Starts at 07:12

I really enjoy it. It's one of the things besides gardening, that's kind of relaxing. So it didn't feel comfortable arguing against the brewers position, but My constituents, after surveys, town hall meetings, felt that in order for me to vote for the bill, there had to be an audit and the brewers had to kick in, or the business community had to kick in another hundred, $100 million. And if you look at Pfizer Forum, half the project was paid for by Herb Cole and the future owners. So taxpayers only had to pay 50%. (07:12–07:29)

CLAIM

Asserts that constituents demanded an audit and $100 million contribution from brewers or business community for bill support.
