The List Manager forwarded a message from Peter Musty that said, in part:
>
>There is a mayor appointed committee of 17 Minneapolis citizens reviewing
the idea of a privately funded urban ballpark in Minneapolis.

[KB] Given this process ("mayor appointed"), why shouldn't we worry that
Minneapolis's politicians' urge to get public funding into a stadium project
(or two) is alive and well?
If private funders are so hot to trot toward new stadia, let them. When
they need zoning or other issues dealt with, let them come to the proper
agencies and ask them to consider the plans and requests. But quit wasting
public resources on it: mayor's time, mayor's staff time, council members'
time, and so on and on. What else are the politicos doing in this besides
appointing committees?
