"The state barred Hennepin County from contributing to the $330 million cost of a new stadium"
Does anyone know why the state will not allow Hennepin County to participate in this deal? It feels like a direct attempt to eliminate Minneapolis from the list of possible locations for a stadium. As a Minneapolis resident, I don't feel compelled to shoulder 100% of a financial burden that benefits many both inside and outside of the city limits, so I am happy to see how our mayor is proceeding. Just wondering if anyone had a clue as to motive, but more importantly, if there is the possibility that this limitation may change in the future with a new legislative session.
