(651) 429-8629 <br /> <br />State Representative Michele Bachman <br />P.O. Box 608 <br />Stillwater, MN 55082 <br /> <br />Dear Representative Bachman: <br /> <br />The City Council has directed me to send you a letter voicing their opposition <br />regarding the siting of the proposed Viking Stadium in Anoka County. They are <br />opposed to any new taxes that would be specifically applied only to residents and <br />businesses in Anoka County, thus penalizing them for an entertainment enterprise <br />that in reality benefits the State. <br /> <br />The City Council is also concerned that the residents of Anoka County have had no <br />say in the matter and to date, there has been no opportunity for those same residents <br />to vote on the matter. Lastly, the City Council is particularly concerned that the <br />proposed Stadium does not equally benefit the residents of Centerville; that the <br />perceived benefits will be distributed to the communities in central and western <br />Anoka County. <br /> <br />The City Council is requesting that you consider all of the consequences and impacts <br />on all of the residents of Anoka County before making a decision regarding this <br />project. <br /> <br />If you have any further questions or comments regarding the City Council's position <br />on the proposed Viking Stadium, please feel,free to contact me at City Hall, 651-429- <br />3232 or via e-mail.ksykes@centervillernn.com. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~" <br />.
