Geez folks, can't you take $5 million for an answer? The rest is nitpicking and wishful thinking after the original accusation that Target Center delivers no taxes to the city proved to be baseless. I don't mind getting details from public officials, but this is starting to feel like a fishing mission...after one pulls up a boot. By the way, the city is obligated to pay about $1 million annually for Target Center improvements, so even if there is some grassy-knoll accounting, there would still be a $4 million net gain to the city.
