St. Paul Appears Set To Balk At Vikings Stadium Tax
July 6, 2011 The drama that is the Minnesota Vikings stadium issue continues. Not long ago, there was an intriguing plan in place for an Arden Hills stadium site. However, the city council there wants to be heard regarding their opinion on a sales tax increase to fund it. The funny thing is they are all saying they are representing the people, but why not let the people vote on this very limited tax increase which would basically impact those who want to keep the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota?
The St. Paul City Council appears set to unanimously vote Wednesday against a Ramsey County sales tax increase for a proposed Minnesota Vikings stadium in Arden Hills.
Although numerous council members had expressed reservations about the tax, the vote will be their first public stance.
