VIKINGS STADIUM
Let owners build their own stadium
The state government shut down for a bit last summer over budget issues. Part of the deal to reopen government was to delay payments to schools for a year. This put schools in the position of having to finance the state government.
Now we hear about the millions of dollars needed to build a new Vikings stadium. We can’t raise money to provide vital government services, yet we’re expected to subsidize billionaire sports owners?
We need to get our priorities straight. If the Vikings want to build a stadium, let them pay for it. The taxpayers should be providing vital services, such as education, and not welfare for the wealthy.
