"No-Site" Status Stresses Bill's Frailty
Reporting on the first day of legislative hearings on the Twins' stadium bill, Aron Kahn of the St. Paul Pioneer Press observes that the bill deliberately fails to specify a site for the park for fear that picking either Minneapolis or St. Paul would give legislators from the other community a reason to vote against the proposal.
Alice Hausman (DFL-St. Paul) said, "I'm feeling we're all being used to pass a bill." As she's a long-time stadium supporter who backed the Twins' 1997 and 2002 stadium proposals, her decision to oppose the current bill does not bode well for its future.
