[Mpls] Greg Gray on the Hennepin County Stadium Boondoggle: Supports a Referendum

[Eva Young]

I saw Greg Gray at the Minnesota Women's Political
Caucus annual luncheon.  (I was actually rather
surprised that his opponent, Linda Higgins wasn't
there).  

I asked Gray about his position on the Hennepin County
plan for a stadium.  He told me had he been on the
county board, he would have voted against the
Opat-Stenglein proposal that would exempt the stadium
tax from voter approval.  Gray indicated to me that
when he was in the legislature, he had voted in favor
of some Twins stadium plans.  

I've written Linda Higgins about this on more than one
occassion, and have never gotten a reply that clearly
indicates her position.  I assume this means she
supports a special exemption in referendum requirement
to increase the sales tax on Hennepin County Taxpayers
to pay for a Twins Stadium.
