MN budget projections lift stadium hopes
Minnesota's state budget forecast came in Friday with a projected deficit of $165 million, lower than previous estimates. This has raised the hopes of the Twins and Vikings of getting new stadium deals approved this year, now that the state legislature would be spared the spectacle of giving cash to billionaires while slashing, say, school programs. Still no word, though, on when or if Gov. Tim Pawlenty plans to put a stadium bill before the legislature, or whether it will require public referendums.
