Taken from above link: 9 City requirements. Subd. 1. Requires city of Minneapolis to vacate a portion of Third Avenue North. Subd. 2. Requires city of Minneapolis to convey land it owns within the development area to the authority without charge. Subd. 3. Requires city of Minneapolis to issue liquor licenses for the premises of the ballpark. Subd. 4. Actions taken by Minneapolis under this section not deemed to be an expenditure. 10 Local taxes. Sales of admissions to baseball events are exempt from local sales taxes. So this has Mpls giving up land it owns without repayment, and then exempts tickets from local taxes. Just how much will I as a Mpls resident end up paying for this thing? Why do I feel so alone as seeing this thing as a giant example of reverse Robin Hooding? When are the tax payers going to stand up and put major league sports in their place? Ron Leurquin Nokomis East REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
