Political reporter Pat Kessler is reporting the governor and legislative
leaders have agreed to a one-day special session: Gophers Stadium and Maple
Grove Hospital only. No Twins or Vikings Stadium. I guess the Twins are very
upset since they claim their proposal has no state money. Could it be the
Las
Vegas or Monterrey Twins?
Yup, the Twins proposal consists of sticking it to Hennepin County
Taxpayers. It really torks me off when outstate legislators feel that it's
a nice free vote to raise Hennepin County sales taxes. If the Twins are a
statewide resource, the state should be stepping up to the plate on this.
Why can't the Twins spend the $ they are spending on lobbying the
legislature to do a full court press of business - if this is such a good
deal, the business community would be the appropriate folks to step up to
the plate - rather than the taxpayers.
Former legislator John Jordan on his blog talks about wanting to "tar and
feather" stadium opponent John Knight.
