Statement from former Ambassador and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett re Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin stepping down:

“Peter Feigin has been a tremendous leader in our city and state. We worked together to redevelop the vacant Park East corridor, built the new Bucks area, and created a booming entertainment district for our city. His leadership then and now was on full display: a tireless, engaged, people person. He cares about people–be it those doing the hard jobs in the arena or those sitting courtside. He’s a winner and he brought a championship to Milwaukee. I join people from all across this city and state to say thank you to Peter for his leadership and a job well done.”
