Stadium critics kept off MN stadium committee
"This isn't should we or shouldn't we?" said Minnesota Finance Commissioner Dan McElroy, in announcing the formation of an 18-member Stadium Screening Committee with 18 members in favor of building stadiums. "The question is: If we do, what would it look like? . . . There will be lots of legislative hearings in which people will have the option to say, 'We shouldn't do this.'" At least three critics of public stadium funds were among the 186 applicants, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune; all were rejected.
