Howes Could Support Vikes Stadium

The State House Local Government Division Committee has approved the new Vikings stadium bill. The $790 million plan faces stiffer challenges as it moves through the legislative process.

State Representative Larry Howes of Walker tells KLKS News; he can support the plan if no state taxes are used to pay for it.

Howes says it is unlikely the plan will pass during an election year. However, he says it would political suicide for any Governor to allow the Vikings leave Minnesota over the stadium issue.
