We Can Still Shock The World
By Mitch Berg
You want bipartisan action that actually benefits the taxpayer?
Here’s your chance.
There is one more chance to stop the Vikings Stadium and send the bill back to the Legislature; convince the Minneapolis City Council to vote against the larceny of their Convention Center budget.
There are two votes that are considered swing-y on this issue:
Ward 1 – Kevin Reich
(612) 673-2201
kevin.reich@minneapolismn.gov
Ward 10 – Meg Tuthill
Meg.Tuthill@minneapolismn.gov
(612) 673-2210
Call ’em. Politely ask them to reconsider the organized pillaging of the state Constitution and the Minnepolis city charter by Zygi Wilf and his well-heeled friends.
If we can win this, then we can get this back to the Legislature…
…where we can then tell our GOP legislative leadership to grow some cojones and tie the tax reform bill to the stadium, or not bother coming back to work in February.
There is opportunity, here. Let’s make the most of it.

Mitch, Mitch, Mitch. You aren’t going to stop this stadium. You aren’t going see a conservative in the White House. And that thing with Scarlett Johansson and Marisa Tomei with the whipped cream you keep thinking about is not going to happen either.
But happy Syttende Mai!

Worth a shot, but it would really take some courage to change a vote now — I could see Helga Braid Nation marching into the city council member’s breakfast nook and taking up residence there if anyone did that.
