How delighted I am to here our city officials say that we can't afford the tax increase to fund the twins ballpark. Now somebody else can pay for it.
Some notable points in the debate; The dome is LOSING money on the twins. According to testimony in the House on Saturday the twins bring no profit to the dome and must be subsidized by the Vikings. Where is the logic in a proposition that says a bigger stadium with even more empty seats will somehow be profitable. Will they ALL be luxury suites? The anti-county provision was caused by a rep from Edina or Minnetonka (I don't remember which) but it is a classic display of "We want it in THEIR town not OURS and we don't want to pay for it, we want THEM to pay for it." So we are most likely safe for another year. GO SAINTS!
