state + local

Awful. Minnesota is truly on the decline.

You can't rob Peter to pay Paul. I don't disagree with gambling on moral grounds at all, I just think too many people are seeing magical dollar signs that will not come to fruition. Also, I feel we are going back on our word AGAIN with the Tribes when we negotiated back in 1989. A man's word is bond, when will our state keep theirs?

Gov Dayton wants 50 percent from this casino and we currently get ZERO percent from the existing casinos. What's fair??

Minneaota is doing ok. It's Minneapolis that's on the decline !

Don't sell your soul Minnesota you are better than this!

I know they say it would be a Bellagio style casino. The bellagio caters to a pretty high end crowd. I dont know if we have enough of that here to support it

At least it's good entertainment reading how the gov and others are arguing over non-existent money from a casino that will never be allowed to be built. Too bad, this is one way of paying for a football stadium I would actually support.

If you are going to put up a 'state' casino, dwtn Mpls is the WORST place to put it. Nothing but trouble there now, only will be a lot more trouble later. I can't even stand going down there NOW.

I'm not opposed to gambling, in fact I enjoy it on occasion, and I would enjoy a local option other than Mystic Lake, which I hate. However, I think having a casino downtown would be a disaster. Block E already draws a rather seedy element; a casino would be several orders of magnitude worse.

What claim does the state have on 50% of the take? Are they a 50% stakeholder? This is robbery.
