..."Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

All you say seems true. In addition, those jobs will be very short-lived, and their numbers exaggerated.

It is just so terribly discouraging that these Council members were able to do effect this awful ripoff before being chased from office. Good riddance !

Take a look at the link below "26 Amazing Facts About Finland's Unorthodox Education System" and you might be surprised at the comparisons with the U.S. It seems that many of the differences which weigh in favor of Finnish students are based on a simple set of values, not a system of theories, doctrine, or statistics.

Why not just call downtown itself an "Event", and screw over every single person who enters, with or without a car - you know, without buying a ticket, you can't enter.

The idea that St. Paul is leaving money on the table, i.e., "that’s a lot of revenue to turn down.", by NOT screwing over the public in every big and little way they can possibly dream up, just shows how perverse the contempt for the ordinary everyday citizen has become.

There are a lot of people in the metro...

Beer will be free, all you can drink.

But it'll cost you $15 every time you wanna take a leak.

...but let's go for broke here and sell the Brazilians our whole public position in the Vikings stadium boondoggle. You know, they put up the money, then they can have the vast-beyond-vast economic benefits - and we get out from behind the 8 ball.

Even better, we can simply send them the whole Vikings organization. Maybe the Brazilians would enjoy a new kind of football team - where they could see some real head injuries and bone-crushing violence, rather than this "football" so...

...and now asks us to believe he wants advantages in compensation for workers ??

This is just one more deception from a very deceptive man.

This is in fact a proposal to benefit business, to increase the employer's flexibility, NOT to benefit the worker.

I have a problem with the dissembling of John Kline. If he's lying about one thing, maybe he's lying about everything else, too. Or to put it another way, you really can't believe anything this guy says.

No, Mr. Mayor, it's rather like looking at a huge whirlpool of public money going down the drain in a worthless exercise.

But then, when people look at the public's money, they see different things, don't they ? Some see a subsidy of their tickets, some see an increase in their personal wealth, some see the public's money as their private plaything. Some see the illusions of clouds.

If only there were enough people in the Legislature with the backbone to stop this idiocy....

...based upon an NFL football broadcast, it looked like an exciting place ?

I have never met, seen, or heard of any person like this. But I'm open to new information.

"Should people who...attend games...be the only Minnesotans who subsidize the Vikings...?"

YES, Hiram - but you can add in the TV and radio ad purchasers, and the people who buy from those advertising appeals. They can subsidize it, too.

Oh, by the way, in reference to your "without paying a dime", this is not true. You and I are subsidizing those tickets (according to Sen. Marty's calculus) by $77 per ticket for the next 30 years, unless someone has the good sense to...

It is not only the game itself which is bad for the brain.

All the arguments for why the taxpayer should give a billion dollar handout to a billionaire are ALSO bad for the brain !! These arguments have rendered our state legislature and local city council unable to discern the difference between hay before a horse eats it and that same hay when it comes out the other end.
