NO to sales tax for Minnesota Twins stadium
Sign Now
I do not agree with the plan to impose a sales tax on the residents of Hennepin County to pay for a new stadium for the Minnesota Twins baseball club. I therefore pledge that if such a tax is imposed, I will do my shopping and other business outside of Hennepin County and spend as little money in Hennepin County as possible.

They make more money than we do, we haven't had a raise for years. Let them pay for it if they need it so much. The one we have is just fine.

The sales tax increase should be decided on a referendum as required by current law. If it passes fair and square then build the stadium; if not, then dont. Its that simple. Let the people decided!

Isn't it time government stayed out of private business. The Twins had to have a new covered ballpark 20+ years ago and the tax to pay for that was repealed when? Let Pohlad pay for it himself.

I don't think we should allow professional teams to blackmail states to get what they want by threatening to leave. I say let them go unless they want to pay for the stadium themselves and not put the burden on the taxpayers back!

Other businesses have to pay for their own building/offices. Why should ANY sports team be different. It is a buisness and should be supported by people who benefit from the profits made by the business. If the Twins want a stadium so badly, why don't the

I am willing to pay more taxes to retain Minnesota Care coverage as it is but not for corporate welfare for a Twins stadium
