Here is another good quote(s): CP: The ballpark proposal that you're behind could go beyond the wishes of the people of Minneapolis.
McLaughlin: This proposal doesn't unduly tax the people of Minneapolis. It's only a third of the people of Hennepin County. So this tax is spread across the entire county. Lots of people will be paying for this regional and state asset. And people come from all over the state to Minneapolis for it. CP: Why not make the state pony up some money then? McLaughlin: I live in the real world, okay? I don't live in the world of pretty words and photo opportunities. That's how we got the LRT done, by living in the real world and building a real coalition around a real proposal. That's what we're doing with on this ballpark. And we're providing leadership. Real leadership, real world. Not vacillating in our fantasy world.
