ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A group that opposes using tax dollars to fund a new Minnesota Vikings stadium isn't giving up its efforts to let voters weigh in on the issue.
For the second time, the No Stadium Tax Coalition is trying to organize a petition asking that a referendum be held before Ramsey County can agree to finance a stadium or subsidize a sports team.
The group previously submitted a similar petition, but the county attorney's office took issue with the wording. It said this week that some of the prohibitions being sought weren't legally enforceable as written.
So the coalition modified the language and is trying again.
A St. Paul Pioneer Press report says the coalition needs just under 15,000 signatures to get its proposed charter amendment on the ballot.
