Every single member of the St. Paul city council told the Minnesota Vikings that they are against a county wide tax to fund a new Vikings stadium.
The current plan for the Vikings stadium would have 350 million coming from the tax they opposed, 400 million from the owners, and 300 billion from an unknown source of revenue.
Pat Harris, a member of the St. Paul City Council, had this to say about the tax:
"There's no return back to our community. ... It doesn't make sense for St. Paul."
It's going to be so hard for the Vikings to get a stadium right now. Think about it, the state is having trouble funding schools, police stations, and other government operated businesses, so how can we expect them to get really excited about a new stadium right now? Poor timing Vikings, poor timing.
My advice: Dig a little deeper into those pockets Zygi, you're not going to get a whole lot of money from the state.
