I don't think you understand. People are not opposed to the Twins or any major league sports team being located in Minneapolis. People are opposed to using our tax dollars for building them new stadiums and facilities. Please notice the critical difference. I would like for the Twins to stay in Minneapolis, but only if it means no taxes are diverted to keeping them here. Why should my tax dollars be used to help a private company?
