We certainly encourage other individuals and organizations to keep questioning/pressuring candidates on this issue, since some pols at City Hall seem determined to try and push for public funding all over again.
On perhaps a related note, being a notorious local news watcher (I scan all 4 stations to see what's top of their news lineups), I saw the TV poll on Sayles-Belton's performance on the Channel 9 news at 9 p.m. I missed the results, aired at 10 p.m., so I was glad to see someone posted them. 69% rating her performance as "poor" -- ouch.

Progressive Minnesota had a stadium question (Yea or Nay?) on their
endorsement screening questionnaire. It read: "What is your position on
public funding for professional sports stadiums? Given the intensity of this
issue, how can constituents be sure your stated position will not change in
the future?"
Point #1 of PM's MetroAgenda2000 reads: "Oppose public financing for new
professional sports stadiums."
Jordan Kushner, can you detail where other candidates stood on this question?
For the record, I am resolutely opposed to city financing for a new stadium.
