Vikings sales tax referendum likely

A survey of legislators in Minnesota's Anoka County, the only remaining bidder on building a new home for the Vikings, shows that 21 out of 24 oppose a 0.75% sales-tax hike for a stadium without a voter referendum. Since such a referendum would almost certainly fail, it's looking less and less likely that the Vikes will get their $500-million dream stadium anytime soon.
