Even though they have less power, I think critics of the deal need to be as responsible as they want proponents to be.
There is no cloud of burning garbage at the site. The smell all comes from ground-level deliveries (there's more about this in the Skyway story link I sent earlier today).
The burner's stack shoots the pollutants high into the sky where they drift away from the facility. Study after study - unchallenged by environmentalists, as far as I know - show that the highest particulate "fallout" with prevailing wind patterns occurs at a point in North Minneapolis and in the Phillips neighborhood.
That "environmental justice" situation predates the ballpark and the stadium has no effect on how it will continue in the future.
