YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
Zygi Wilf, owner of the Minnesota Vikings
Two stories in the Nov. 19 Star Tribune caught my attention.
The first was that Hennepin County Medical Center has to reduce care to the poor because it is facing a crippling loss of state health care funds. HCMC will have to cut 150 to 200 jobs and close two clinics on its downtown campus.
The second story reported that the Minnesota Vikings "are drawing a line in the sand over a new stadium."
Doesn't Vikings owner Zygi Wilf realize that the economy has changed since Target Field was first proposed? People are suffering and desperately in need of state aid. Taxpayers realize this. The thought of any state aid for a new football stadium is ridiculous and will be political suicide for anyone who supports the idea.
