(StarTribune 3/20/01 by Melissa Levy) Question: How will Minneapolis attract businesses to fill up all of those buildings that we built downtown? Point: If businesses don't pay a big hunk of the property taxes - homeowners and renters will. Note: It would be nice if someone at the StarTribune kept us posted on the vacancy situation and financial health of the "developers" since Minneapolis taxpayers co-signed the mortgages. We already know that Target Center and City Center are rolling over, but what about the rest of them? A few years ago, we lent the Radisson Hotel $20 million. What ever happened to that?
