I think Doug Grow of the StarTribune wraps up my thoughts on the Twin's ballpark plan pretty well, though I can't admit being a fan of the sport. I particularly like his analysis of the return on investment Pohlad is likely to see. For the $125 million he puts forward, he'll probably see $130 million in return, most of that upfront on the first day of operations in the new park.
So maybe a .05 tax increase could be proposed and perhaps that money could be used to fund education, healthcare and transportation. Yeah, that sounds good to me. Far more people will benefit from such a tax increase than a stadium that only helps the richer continue to get richer.
