Y'know I remember hearing a philosphy like this something like "The Germans are moving into versaille so you might as well deal with it and stop fighting..." In this age of "wars" on everything in site, this is the first shot in a war on the poor in whatever city this bomb goes off in. The funding proposal will require taxes on "food, liquor and entertainment taxes in the city that is selected as the new stadium site." Minneapolis has been putting up with s*** long enough. Our dining and entertainment has been taxed to pay for two stadiums already and you want a THIRD?! Well, here's what I'M going to do - I'm taking my entertainment dollars elsewhere. Whenever I eat out, or go to a show I'll be doing it somewhere that isn't making me pay for a stadium. Oh, yes. And I'll be looking for new candidates to support.
