I'm thinking as a Hennepin County resident, maybe this is good. If St Paul wants to tax itself to get the team, fine by me. I just hope our City officials don't try to come up with the money on our Minneapolis backs alone. Our downtown Mpls sales tax add-ons are high enough already, and property taxes are probably going to climb. We should be in a retrenchment mode, not looking for more taxes for more frills. Any chance we can get the Saints to move over to this side of the river. I'd welcome them even if they kept the appellation "St. Paul." (Of course I moved here after the intercity rivalry had diminished. See how transportation (I-94), communications and cooperation lessens the warlike spirit.)
