Seems the republicans are holding the bill hostage so they can get more:

A) Concessions from Gov. Dayton concerning a small business bill and over all budget cuts over a bonding bill

B) Trying to get themselves move attention by killing the bill which several senators seem to be quite proud of being part of. Sen. Scott Nienow, R-Cambridge being one of the main culprits.

As stated above, they seem to have the votes from both republican and democrats to get it done. The question will be, will it ever be allowed to get voted on. Right now it's not looking good but Dayton is trying to remain positive.

Somehow this will be spun to be the fault of Mark Dayton.

Can't wait for that one...

I know it is almost pointless to follow a play-by-play of the stadium debate, but the newest idea is to save money by having no roof. http://www.startribune.com/politics/statelocal/149693115.html
Awesome for soccer!
Now, this will not happen, but it's just the latest idea.

Did you know....

The Minnesota Dragons play their home games in the Metrodome.

Until about 2 minutes ago, I have never heard of them.

Just going to ask the obvious question here. How do they pay for this and how did they get a dance team?

Thank you for plunging me into the depths of terrible web design.

clearly they used the money set aside for a developer on rent.

not to mention a terrible team name... the dragons?!?

The US Open Cup showed me that my hometown has a team in Round 1 that has probably the most amazing name and logo ever. Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present FC Sonic Lehigh Valley. http://www.fcsonic.org/

That is pretty flippin' cool. I have never been to a Sonic Resturant, so I will have to go check it out.

Nice! Way better than the Lehigh Valley In and Outs.

Christ, now I'm hungry.
