Minnesota House Speaker Kurt Zellers said the original proposal for a Vikings stadium will be brought to a floor vote in the House on Monday.
It may not make it out alive, but it'll be there...
"The stadium is the governor's top priority this session, his only priority," Zellers said. "Our priorities have been disrespected or dismissed."
Zellers and Majority Leader Dave Senjem think the votes aren't there for the bill to pass, and other state representatives don't think the current financing ideas will work on their own for the new stadium. They may work in concert with other ideas that could be brought to the table... just not on their own...
"Now everyone will be able to hold legislators accountable for that momentous decision," Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton said. "I will continue to do all I can to convince them this is a good deal for Minnesota, the best deal available, and much better than alternative: losing thousands of jobs, losing the Vikings and losing the can-do spirit, which is Minnesota."
Dayton urged all Minnesotans to contact their legislators and urge them to vote "yes" on Monday.
Here's the short version... with an opinion thrown in...
The HQ will leave the podium-thumping to Brother Phil, as he (and you faithful reader) has done throughout this entire ordeal...
We're just waiting for a wagging index finger with the appropriate of hang-dog looking from the NFL after it fails...
