Vikings Stadium Bill makes it to State Legislature

[Coachnorm]

Good Saturday morning. Let's take a brief detour from wall-to-wall draft coverage to let you know that the Minnesota Vikings' stadium bill took an important step late Friday night and is now poised to be heard on the floor of both houses of the Minnesota state legislature.

That's the upshot of a contentious but ultimately successful trip Friday night through the Senate Taxes Committee, whose approval paved the way for the bill to be introduced on the Senate floor. The House version of the bill has also completed its committee run, and we could hear as early as Saturday when floor debates could begin.

That's GReat! I hope it works out for the Vikes to stay right where they are.

So, do I. This is important because the bill was almost dead in committee. The State Legislature is trying to close it's session on Monday.
