According to preliminary reports (wcco.com), part of the 11th hour deal struck to prevent a baseball work stoppage is that contraction of teams will not be reconsidered until 2006.
Note to elected officials: THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE "REWARD" our owner-in- waiting, Carl, with a new stadium. Note to citizens: We can expect at least 4 more years of our elected officials coming back each year with some new stadium deal. The solution: THROW OUT THE INCUMBENTS! I can state that I will be a solid "NO" vote on a stadium proposal as long as the education funding issues and other budgetary problems/issues loom. I say let Carl come up with a proposal and get the public behind it; why should our elected officials be on the hook for convincining the public that we need a new stadium?
