Governor Mark Dayton and legislative leaders are up for a final push to see if they can piece together an acceptable stadium deal before the current legislative session ends. The effort comes after a meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Art Rooney, chief of the league's stadium commission.
More than 1,200 nonprofit groups generated about $80 million from paper pull-tab games in 2009. The Pioneer Press reports the state Department of Revenue predicts electronic pull-tabs would produce $72 million in new tax money. Charities are told they'll benefit from a significant tax relief, but the amount remains uncertain because it's still unclear how much of that $72 million will be needed to help finance a new NFL stadium in Minnesota.
Republican Kurt Zellers says he's very concerned that revenue from electronic pull-tabs won't be enough to cover the state's share of a new Vikings stadium. And the current plan would designate the state's general fund as a backup. "If (it's) taking money out of the general fund, which is schools, which is roads, that doesn't work," he says in a Pioneer Press report.
MPR is reporting that the city's mayor and business leaders will make their pitch Wednesday at the Capitol. The move comes a bit late in the game; Gov. Dayton wants stadium proposals turned in by Thursday. A supporter says the Shakopee option would cost just over $900 million, and that proceeds from casino games at Canterbury Park would help fund the public's share.
Commissioner Roger Goodell is telling Gov. Dayton the state could face "serious consequences" if lawmakers fail to pass a stadium bill during the current session, which is close to over. And Gov. Dayton says the stadium cannot wait until next year.
