Continuously for the last ten years, it seems that a majority of the
politicians in the state want the public to build a stadium, even as the
majority of voters have felt otherwise. This is even politicians that we've
voted for partially because of their positions not to build these edifices,
such as Rybak. I've been trying to figure this out, and the only thing I
can come up with is that the stadium is more valuable to the big shots than
it is to the rest of us.
So the question, of course, is, "why do you keep voting for them?" Is it possible that other issues are more important to most citizens than the stadium, to the degree that they'll vote for pro-stadium legislators because of a stand on a more important issue? This is healthy politics, not a power grab.
If everyone is so against a stadium, I haven't seen it at the polls.
