NEWS RELEASE
Speaker of the House Kurt Zellers on Passage of the Vikings Stadium
"Today 133 members of the Minnesota House debated the Vikings Stadium bill and by a vote of 73-58 approved legislation that provides financing for a new stadium. While I voted against the bill, I gave my word to my colleagues, stadium supporters and Governor Mark Dayton that, despite my concerns, the bill would receive a fair process.
The Minnesota Senate is expected to take up the Vikings issue for a debate and vote by its members on Tuesday.
I will continue to facilitate this process as it moves forward, allowing all parties to resolve differences and -- more importantly -- better protect the interests of Minnesota taxpayers .
As leaders we rely on our word as currency when we build agreements. It is time to refocus attention on Minnesota’s broader agenda -- a competitive economy that will foster business development and job growth throughout the state. I respectfully ask Governor Dayton to work collaboratively with Republicans and Democrats to see the bipartisan Tax Relief and Job Creation Act and the infrastructure/bonding bill signed into law in this session."
