Minnesota Governor Warming Up to New Stadium

from: http://min.scout.com/2/944023.html

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty appears to be warming up to the idea of using public funds to help build a football stadium that would house the Vikings. Pawlenty said that some proceeds from a new lottery game could be a potential funding source.

Perhaps Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has seen the light.

For years, Minnesota’s top executive has shown no interest in using public money to subsidize a football stadium to assure the Vikings’ long-term future in the state. In a radio interview Wednesday, however, the governor came as close as he ever has to supporting the idea of using funds to help finance a stadium.
