That is a lot of money for a state.

In Minnesota, we raised sales tax for a county of 1.2 million people for 20 years to pay $355 million for the Twins stadium.

This money could fund schools, or public transportation, or just tax cut for the people that actually need the money.

Increase the millionaire tax.

$1.8 billion can buy your state 6 new stadiums!
