I'll pay the 1/2 cent tax in Ramsey county for it. I doesn't come from other counties.

I'm for a Racino or State Owned Casino to pay for this stuff as well.

Its not about how any of the teams perform. Its about the bottom line. Currently the bottom line is buried in debt.

A racino or state run casino would deal with both issues at hand here. it would pay for the states portion of the Vikes stadium and clear up the deficit.

i heard he preferred that site. arden hills ziggy wants to make that ziggy world around it but i like the fact if it goes there it will be cleaned up. the 10 pm news last nite said that the only place really ruled out was by that church.

I've always been in favor of a state owned casino, even before the stadium issue came up.
Why not?  Compete for the gambling dollars and not let only one group monopolize the market.
Only one word of caution if the state does decide to get into the business.
For God's sake, don't let the state run or manage it, hire an outside consultant, preferably someone with Vegas experience.
The state can screw up a wet dream, so get some professionals to do the job.

Shakopee came waaaaaaay to late to the dance.

I don't think you can come in the day of without ever having any mention of it. I don't believe all the ducks were in a row. They didn't have it worked out how to pay and everything else. I still thing Arden Hills is the best bet.

But just saying we have a place for it here,Is just as advanced as any of the other places,Of which none had a plan for $$ time frame Nothin! which is about the same as shakopee,They just said lets do it here abit later than the others.Its a great site as they said easy access,plenty a land,no clean ups. Realistically they have it over all the other sites.
