Sorry to disillusion you, but this time it was a Republican state house that approved it and a Republican governor who's vowed to sign it, if only it passes the Democratic state Senate.

Right at the moment I'm having a hard time seeing a dime's worth of difference between our local Republicrats and Demohicans.

The only upside is that the tax is being levied without a vote upon more DFLers than Republicans.

Personally, I'd like to see a $0.01 tax per copy of the Red Star to fund the stadium. The paper benefits greatly from the presence of pro sports and puts little into it..
