Clark asked for reasons why no Twins talk lately. I think people fall into 3
groups:
1. Don't care and never did.
2. Care and hate subsidy and don't need to say it again.
3. Care and love baseball but resigned that in this day and age - not to

I would think that money's not an issue for them, and higher income people

I will again cast my vote for the Northern League/Parade Stadium site if the
