St. Paul E-Democracy Discussion about
DISTRICT COUNCILS IN ST. PAUL
Brewery Cafe - 945 W 7th - April 14th - 7-9 PM
==============================================
It's hard to ignore the glaring inconsistency that Minnesota voters are
being asked time and time again, to the point of badgering, to give public
money to a private industry where salaries are approaching a billion dollars
a year, while we're told we can't afford health care for our transit
workers.
This chronic begging by an enormously lucrative industry for more corporate
welfare is not occurring in a vacuum. We've just realized another
unexpected $30 million shortfall in expected state revenue from corporate
taxes in an already deficit-ridden tax climate for all levels of government.
Is a new stadium--or is it up to two new stadia, now?--on the top of THEIR
list of potential, private, corporate investments?
