You’re probably right about the pork; you’d know more than I do about the situation. It’s definitely true if they put in some stupid plan that doesn’t really reach out to all people (e.g.: Baltimore).

I’m really sick of the stadium builds (it is a revenue-generator, but still - it’s a damned sport). Are you saying people as a whole really didn’t want to pay for the stadium? That doesn’t seem to be the case anywhere - everyone is all hot to have their sport team have anything it wants!

Minnesota has been fighting the politicians for over 10 years on the stadium issue. Public opinion is overwhelmingly against the stadium. Liberals, moderates and us right wingers were all against it (everyone except the die hard twins fans and Polad the owner)

But they finally pushed it through last year. Oh well. Take care! I really have to get back to work;-)
