You're right. It's not important. It's "importance" is all media hype. The claim that stadiums and teams provide economic benefit was proven to be a myth. I'm sick of paying taxes on sports stadiums. I want my taxes going to schools. If there is so much economic benefit to having the team in town why aren't the affected businesses lining up to buy stock in a corporation designed to keep them? They are a big corporation, with monopoly control of the market. There are solutions to their problems but the owners aren't willing to pursue them. They just want a big corporate handout. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
