How Much Crime Can We Prevent With 1.1  Billion Dollars? 
 
That's how much the leading mayoral candidates want to spend, of  the 
taxpayers money, for a new stadium for one of the richest multi billionaires  in the 
world. When we're cutting funds for education, medical research,  libraries, 
fire and police protection these reckless politicians want to  squander 
taxpayer money on an open air stadium right next to the  garbage burner. According to 
an air emission study conducted for Hennepin  County, the precise point of 
impact or the "hot spot" for most of the  emissions is 417 meters southeast of 
the smokestacks or more  precisely, where the pitcher's mound will be. 
 
The 1.1 billion dollar figure comes from the Minnesota  Department of 
Revenue. That's what a new stadium will cost over the 30 year  proposed period. These 
two leading candidates have never been in business. They  are completely 
unaware that they are being hornswaggled by one of the most  cunning billionaires 
in the country. Pohlad is coughing up several million more  dollars than he 
originally proposed and if the young and naive candidates  wouldn't give in, he 
would pay for it all because the value of his  team will go up several million 
dollars in value when he gets a new  stadium. At that point, of course, he 
would probably put the team up for sale  and ride out of town like Red McCombs 
(and GW) with hundreds of millions of  dollars all ready for his next scam.
 
Building a stadium is the kind of jobs that they would  create? Typical. It 
doesn't matter what kind of jobs, just so there's more jobs.  More part time 
temporary low pay jobs selling hot dogs or programs on the  Pohlad plantation. 
Jobs are the holy grail even tho we have too many people  working too many 
hours at obsolete completely unnecessary jobs which only cause  more waste, 
pollution, greenhouse gasses, resource shortages and inflation. All  the candidates 
say they will create more jobs but fail to say how or what kind  of jobs 
they'll produce. All the candidates promise they'll build more housing  when we are 
not using the housing we have efficiently. Yes we'll need more  housing for 
the accelerating flood of illegal immigrants. Get ready folks. Mpls  is big 
league now. If you like sitting in traffic that gets worse everyday, if  you love 
the increasing taxes, crime and pollution, you'll love the  future of 
Minneapolis.
