1. I guess I haven't been paying attention. I don't remember reading
or hearing anything about this until now. The commissioners are apparently doing the people's business without telling the people until the deals are done. Isn't that tidy?
2. Who needs more safety in Minneapolis? TheTwins will just hire private security to get their customers from the parking lots into the ball park.
3. This looks a like a very shrewed political move by the commissioners to not let Pawlenty or Randy Kelly get any credit for the Twins park.

[Irony note: Mayor R.T. Rybak and the City Council voted this year to ask the state for permission to levy a 0.5 percent sales tax to fund public safety. They couldn't find any Minneapolis legislators to sponsor the bill. That should make the ballpark sales tax an interesting vote for the Minneapolis delegation.]
