It’s stadium day

Update 2:04pm The Senate has just passed the Twins and Vikings bill (the one with light rail and transportation projects in it and a metro-wide sales tax referendum) 34-32.

SF2460, the Gophers stadium bill, just passed the Senate on a 34-32 vote. Here's the roll call.

I'll have the roll call on Votetracker in a few minutes.

(It's a very high-tech process, I take a picture of the TV screen showing the Senate tote board and then load it up into Photoshop and squint my way to figuring out the vote. Hi tech, eh?)

There does not appear to be any taxing mechanism attached to it, but I admit I turned on the debate late so I'll have to sort it out later.

The Senate is now taking up the Twins and Vikings stadium bill with gubernatorial candidate Sen. Steve Kelly leading the charge.
