We're not at all against a new ballpark. What we are adamantly opposed to is using any taxation to pay for it. That means no income tax, no sales tax, no any tax money. If the Twins want a new ballpark, pay for it themselves. If the Vikings want a new stadium, pay for it themselves. Or else make the business case that it's a worthwhile (i.e., not a "negative cash flow")investment for the public to be involved in partially financing. -- Ken Bearman, King Field _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
