Commentary: Hey Peter! Hey RT! We get to vote on it!
by Ed Felien

On two occasions the voters of Minneapolis have amended their City Charter
to say they want a vote on any expenditure of money used to build a sports
stadium. In the past, city officials have found ways around this
embarrassing demand of the people. They’ve set up Metropolitan Sports
Commissions, etc. The newest proposal by the county proposes to spend sales
tax revenue to build the stadium. This means the most regressive tax (the
one that disproportionately taxes poor people) will be used to subsidize a
local billionaire’s playground for his millionaire boys in pajamas.
