About $25 million of the public share would come from game-day parking revenue at existing parking ramps behind Target Center and from other city-owned downtown parking lots. Another $45 million to $50 million would come from borrowing backed by a rebate of Minnesota income taxes paid by Twins ballplayers and by visiting players. As noted in the article I cited earlier the taxes cited here amount to about $2.2M /year. Again, this will take a minimum of 25 years to recover and the Metrodome is only 20 years old. This also means that that income will be taken out of the state general fund for the next 25 years. I'm feeling betrayed and hornswaggled by my candidate and he hasn't even been sworn in yet! HOMES NOT DOMES!
