Jobs a key issue in Vikings stadium debate
Supporters of a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings say the jobs it will create are a key benefit. They say the stadium will help bolster a struggling construction sector.
There's less than a month left before Gov. Mark Dayton's deadline to resolve the Minnesota Vikings stadium issue. A solid week of talks have helped to develop a better picture of how a deal might be reached.
Some Republicans want arts amendment money for Vikings stadium
A Republican leader says some of his colleagues in the Minnesota Legislature are considering a plan that would rely on a portion of the state's Legacy funds to pay for a new Vikings Stadium. It's an option they say must be considered as Gov. Mark Dayton and lawmakers continue to discuss a new stadium. But critics say voters didn't intend to use that money for professional sports stadiums when they approved a higher sales tax in 2008.
