How Does The Star Tribune Feel About The New Proposed Twins Stadium Deal?

First of all, you can find links to email your Hennepin County Commissioner here.

Now to the Strib ...

Editorial: Twins & Hennepin/A win for Pawlenty, too

A story on how the scrappy front office of the Twins mirrors their scrappy efforts on the field. I swear late last night this story's headline online was something like "Twins Need Stadium Money" or something such.

A story to let you know that it very rarely snows June through September in Minneapolis.

A story on how the tax wouldn't really cost you that much; with no mention of how if Carl Pohlad were to pay for the total cost of a stadium, it wouldn't cost him that much.

Jim Souhan: Finally a stadium plan that sounds reasonable. Souhan pens these sunny words:

Yes, this is a great deal for Pohlad, but that's the way the world works -- rich people make good deals for themselves, whether they own sports teams or computer companies.

The rich will always get richer, with or without our help.


Do those words sound familiar? Maybe you've been listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival lately:

Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains.
Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same.
Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth.
They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?
