Twins make yet another stadium pitch
Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist/Twins mouthpiece Sid Hartman reports that team owner Carl Pohlad is still willing to talk about a new publicly funded stadium, no matter what that silly old state legislature thinks. Pohlad's latest offer, according to Hartman, includes $120 million in cash (paid over 30 years), sales and income tax TIFs to pay for another chunk of the stadium cost, and a "sliding scale" for the public to share in the profits from sale of the team. This sounds suspiciously like Pohlad's previous offer.
