Vikings Stadium: The new stadium bill is slowly pushing its way through the legislative process. They are currently out on an official break over the Easter Holiday and will return to work on the 16th of April and if my information is correct they will have only 11 days to finish pushing this bill through. The Governor has said he wants this bill passed this session. I guess we will see if it happens. Hopefully it will get the up vote it needs so that some 7500 plus jobs can be created over the next three years. One of the main stumbling points has been the backup plan for state funding if the electronic pull tabs doesn't provide enough funds. The White Earth Tribal Council has offered to write the state a check for $400 Million that would cover the entire state portion of the stadium package. Will it happen and is it legal? We will have to watch and see what happens.
The The Minnesota Vikings would have a place to play for the next 30 years and it would enhance the possibility of a Major League Soccer team coming to Minnesota in the next five years. This would increase the profits from the new stadium greatly.
Find out who your Representative is and let him or her know you want this stadium deal.
Until next time...
