T-day minus six and counting
The Minnesota Twins stadium bill didn't pass the House Local Government Committee last night after all, with the committee adjourning at midnight and deciding to continue its debate today. (Or, as the unbiased reporters at MLB.com put it, the bill was "stymied by legislative gridlock.") The committee did vote 10-9 to reject a proposed amendment that would have held Hennepin County to the requirement that it hold a voter referendum before raising sales taxes to fund a stadium.
