I don’t know that anyone is covering the stadum debate \u00a0like Mr. D.<\/p>\n

On the debate between Minneapolis and Arden Hills sites:<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Arden Hills site may not make it through the legislature this time around, because there are far more important issues than a Vikings stadium. But one thing is clear — the Arden Hills proposal is the only one that has any chance. At this point, Minneapolis has to be rooting for gridlock.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read the link to see why.<\/p>\n

And re Sid Hartman’s crabbling<\/a> about the team leaving downtown (and his employer’s backyard):<\/p>\n

Sid’s been grumpy since well before any of us were born, so you have to take this statement with at least two grains of salt. He’s a company man and if the Vikings were to somehow find a way to stay near the Metrodome, it could potentially benefit his longtime employer, which owns a fair amount of real estate in the area. He’s also a Minneapolis man and in the eternal struggle between the Mill City and the Capitol City, he cannot in good conscience support any advantage going to the hated rival to the east (and I don’t mean the Packers).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He’s got several posts on the subject. \u00a0Check ’em out.<\/p>\n

Then call your legislator and tell them not one dime of taxpayer general fund money<\/em>. \u00a0Wilf is going to make out like a bandit on either site, especially the Ammo Plant site. \u00a0His takeaway, and his progeny’s, is going to be well into ten figures in the nine figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
