Victoria I think many list members do, its just that the Twins are getting the most press right now. Some of the things you mentioned were swept in under the radar. Some, like Target, happened anyhow. Some, like Cherry Holmes, got voted out of office.
this list has opened my eyes to a lot of things going on right under my nose, and I thank all of you that post for that. You all have helped me become something most politicians fear, and informed voter. Jennifer Pedersen is on a track I like. Lets have public ownership of these teams. I own a piece of the Packers. Its a useless piece of paper for the most part, but it gives me some pride, and a lot less to complain about when I know the profits are not being reaped to a greedy billionaire. Lets put the Twins and Vikings out for stocks and see what happens. I for one will get in line to buy a share or two.

Listmembers don't seem to mind that other private, for-profit entities are stuffing their pockets with public money. Why the vitriol for sports? Why weren't the same arguments made for Target Corporation, Ryan Construction, Allina, Sears, Cherryhomes & Minn, Dick Brustad, George Sherman, Hunt & Gregory, CSM Corporation, and an endless list of tax avoiders also known as non-Profiteers, etc. etc.? Just wondering why this logic only applies to sports facilities. Is it fuzzy thinking, or am I missing something. Vicky Heller North Oaks and Cedar-Riveride REMINDERS: 1.
