Mayor Coleman resonds to Governor Dayton's decision to remove from consideration a local option sales tax to fund a Vikings stadium
Mayor Chris Coleman released the following statement in reaction to Governor Dayton's decision to remove from consideration a local option sales tax to fund a Vikings stadium:
"I applaud Governor Dayton's decision to remove the consideration of a local
option sales tax to fund a Vikings stadium. It has always been my position that
the Vikings are an asset to all of Minnesota, and the financial burden of
building them a new stadium should not fall disproportionately on one region of
Minnesota over another. I continue to believe a two-cent per drink statewide tax
is the best funding mechanism for a new stadium, and I look forward to seeing
future legislative proposals to move the project forward."
