If I remember what has been reported in the paper, the Twins want to "borrow" the so-called non-refundable deposit of $165 million for the ball palace from the state because they wouldn't have the hard cash.
Doesn't seem to help protect the public. Then there is the supposed 8.5% return on the money that the state is supposed to reap. Does anyone know the return that the state currently gets on various investment funds, like pensions, etc.? As has been said, expecting an annual return like that in hard times seems more than optimistic.
