[Mpls] Allina

[Dennis Plante]

Somehow, in coming to an accurate cost analysis of the subsidies (both real 
and imagined), one should probably try and factor-in to what degree the 
employees of Allina wll be supporting the local economy.  I suspect they'll 
eat plenty of lunches, buy plenty of gas, many will do their banking near 
work (if it's covenient), many will use local care providers for 
medical/dental/eyecare and some (heaven forbid) will look at purchasing 
homes closer to their workplace.

It doesn't appear (at least on the surface) that what's being proposed is 
out of the ordinary.  For a City to be viable, it has to produce something, 
even if it's only shuffling paperwork.

The northside would love to even be GIVEN the opportunity to debate the pros 
and cons of having a job provider like Allina interested in moving to our 
neighborhood.
