Vikings Stadium Update: Vote On New Proposal Set For Monday
The Minnesota legislative Republicans have decided on a new plan for financing a stadium for the Vikings, and there will be a vote for that plan on Monday.
On Thursday, House Speaker Kurt Zellers said that Monday's vote will involve another plan that is tied to the state's expansion of gambling. Zellers has said on the record that he opposes the bill, and that he isn't sure if it will pass.
Zellers says not sure if enough votes for #Vikings even though DFL says it will provide half of the "yes" votes. #mnleg
