Denise mentions, "I do know the City of Minneapolis taxpayers did vote for $10 million dollars to be used towards the effort of securing a stadium, but that was the limit of it".
Respectful correction: The charter amendment, which I happened to be involved in the collecting of signatures for, stated that the City Council could not spend more than $10M on a professional sports facility without a voter referendum. I once heard Council Member Lisa Goodman state something to the effect of that we (Mpls. taxpayers) don't want to pay for a stadium. However, if you (Council) have the gall to spend on it anyway, there's a limit to how much you can spend without our say so. That's different from Denise' statement saying Mpls taxpayers authorized $10 million. We just capped it at $10M, if we have to spend on it at all.
