House to vote on stadium tomorrow

Last night, the House Ways and Means Committee passed the Twins stadium proposal by another close vote. The full House is going to hear the bill tomorrow.

If I had to wager, I would say that it will pass: it is too easy for legislators not living in Hennepin County to vote for it. At least to them, free stadium! I don't know what the backlash will be. Certainly, I see the four county commissioners who voted for the plan facing strong challenges. Beyond that, it's anybody's guess.

Don't kid yourself - the dome wasn't even 20 years old when both the Twins and the Vikings started making noise about it.
Some version of this bill will pass, despite opposition by about 2/3rds of the residents of the state.
I suggest getting a calling/email campaign going. Jam their phone lines with angry, voting taxpayers, and maybe they'll reconsider.
