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 fools want to squander our  hard 
earned 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 will be 417  meters 
southeast of the smokestacks or more precisely, the pitcher's mound. 
 
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 state. Pohlad is coughing up several million more  dollars than he 
originally proposed and if the young and naive candidates  wouldn't buckle he 
would pay for it all because the value of his team will go up  in value about six 
or eight hundred million dollars or more 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 with hundreds of millions of  dollars and ready for his
