First the local sales tax plan went out the window. Now a pre-Thanksgiving special legislative session bites the dust. The governor says lawmakers opposed a special meeting, preferring to deal with the stadium question in their regular 2012 session.
After ten hours of hearings regarding the Vikings' stadium, the state Senate went home today with some bad news for the Vikings. Governor Mark Dayton doesn't believe there will be a special session to vote on a stadium bill. In fact, he says there likely won't be any vote at all until next spring.
A report over the weekend suggested state leaders are telling the Vikings to give up on the idea of an Arden Hills stadium. But Governor Dayton says he's not ruled out anything. Backers of Minneapolis and Arden Hills sites face a Thursday deadline to submit plans to the governor.
In one day Governor Dayton's opinion of the new Republican stadium proposal shifted from a "hare-brained scheme" to an idea "worth considering." Dayton says he wants to find a solution to the Vikings stadium issue. Republicans, meanwhile, are still working to fill in the blanks on their plan while also convincing DFLers and the Vikings that it's viable. All this after lawmakers had hoped to adjourn.
The governor says he and Republicans will work together to shape a stadium bill. The Associated Press reports a stadium would likely be funded through gambling revenue.
The Minnesota Vikings say they have played their last game in the Metrodome under the current 30-year-old lease. It officially expires February 1. The team now considers itself homeless without legislation to help fund a new stadium. Lawmakers begin the 2012 legislative session on January 24. The Vikings (3-13) lost the season finale to the Bears, 17-13, matching the worst record in franchise history first set in 1984.
Governor Mark Dayton informed the Minnesota Vikings on Monday that if they want a stadium plan approved this year, it will have to be built on the current Metrodome site. Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf are scheduled to meet with Dayton on Wednesday. Lester Bagley, Vice President of Public Affairs and Stadium Development, says the Wilfs are "extremely frustrated with the situation."
The governor plans to spend his weekend persuading lawmakers to vote in favor of the stadium proposal next week. Gov. Mark Dayton told the Pioneer Press he predicts both chambers of the Legislature will approve the bill by a single vote. He said, "I've always thought it would pass by one vote."
