How Much Crime Can We Prevent With 1.1 Billion Dollars? That's how much the leading mayoral candidates want to spend, of the taxpayers money, for a new stadium for one of the richest multi billionaires in the world. When we're cutting funds for education, medical research, libraries, fire and police protection these reckless fools want to squander our hard earned money on an open air stadium right next to the garbage burner. According to an air emission study conducted for Hennepin County, the precise point of impact or the "hot spot" for most of the emissions from the garbage burner will be 417 meters southeast of the smokestacks or more precisely, the pitcher's mound. The 1.1 billion dollar figure comes from the Minnesota Department of Revenue. That's what a new stadium will cost over the 30 year proposed period. These two leading candidates have never been in business. They are completely unaware that they are being hornswaggled by one of the most cunning billionaires in the state. Pohlad is coughing up several million more dollars than he originally proposed and if the young and naive candidates wouldn't buckle, he would pay for it all because the value of his team will go up in value about six or eight hundred million dollars or more when he gets a new stadium. At that point, of course, he would probably put the team up for sale and ride out of town like Red McCombs with hundreds of millions of dollars all ready for his next scam. DON'T BE SUCKERED. NO STADIUM TAX WITHOUT A VOTE
