I contacted Senator Linda Higgins claims she has heard from "hundreds" of constituents supporting the taxpayers helping out with the stadium. I would suggest that if you oppose public funding and financing (which just means leaving the taxpayers holding the bag) stadium and you live in Senator Higgins district, please call her or email her to let her know how you feel.
With the way the Twins management have negotiated in bad faith with St Paul, I can't believe anyone would trust them with a 10 foot pole. The private market would support a good investment. Clearly baseball isn't a good investment or the private market would have stepped up to the plate by now. Go Saints. Just say no to extortion.
