Erik Johnson confirmed to Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District Board
Erik Johnson has been confirmed to serve on the Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District Board, on a 30-3 vote. Sens. Tim Carpenter, Robert Wirch and Nikiya Harris all voted against confirmation.
Carpenter said that while Johnson was qualified, the fact that he resided outside of the sales tax area for Miller Park forced him to vote against confirmation. Sen. Joe Leibham, R-Sheboygan, said that the board's composition requires someone outside of that five-county region.
