Allen Graetz: I'm curious what, if anything, the city of Minneapolis can do to fight this. Afterall, this is the MPLS email list so we should keep a MPLS focus on this one.
Jeanne Massey: Where is the political leadership in opposition to this at all levels - city, county and state? I hope to hear them weigh in on this, and soon - before the county board meeting this week. Gail Dorfman was the only county commissioner who voted against county funding for a baseball stadium last year. I remember the city council overwhelmingly supporting the warehouse district site for a stadium, but I don't remember what vote was taken regarding city funding for a stadium. In any case, an increase in local taxes imposed by the county amounts to the same thing - city council members supportive of this proposal essentially support city funding for a stadium. I was glad to hear at a recent forum the clear opposition by my potential council members (8th ward) to public financing for a stadium. Where are our various state elected officials from Minneapolis on this? Jeanne Massey Kingfield REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
