Twins payroll... twins cut payroll to break even
December 24, 1998 - MINNESOTA TWINS EXECUTIVES SAY THE TEAM'S BEST CHANCE OF BREAKING EVEN IN THE NEXT TWO BASEBALL SEASONS LIES IN CUTTING THEIR PAYROLL. THAT HELPS EXPLAIN WHY THE TWINS LET GO OF SEVERAL OF THEIR BEST-PAID PLAYERS THIS FALL. BUT IT'S NOT CLEAR WHERE THIS SHORT-TERM STRATEGY WILL LEAD THEM. MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO'S WILLIAM WILCOXEN HAS MORE... TWINS EXECUTIVES REPORTEDLY HOPE TO START THE 1999 SEASON WITH A PLAYER PAYROLL IN THE TEN-T0-TWELVE MILLION DOLLAR RANGE ... AND IN THE MARKETPLACE OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEN MILLION DOLLARS DOESN'T BUY MUCH THESE DAYS. SEVERAL OF THE GAME'S TOP PLAYERS HAVE ANNUAL SALARIES LARGER THAN THAT. THE WEALTHIEST TEAMS HAVE PAYROLLS OF EIGHTY AND EIGHTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
Vikings win again
December 21, 1998 - THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS' BEST-EVER SEASON GOT EVEN BETTER LAST NIGHT (SUN) WITH THEIR FIFTY-TO-TEN THRASHING OF THE JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS. WITH ONLY ONE REGULAR-SEASON GAME REMAINING, THE VIKINGS ARE NOW ASSURED OF FINISHING THE YEAR WITH THE BEST RECORD IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL CONFERENCE ...

BUT THEY MAY NEED A REMINDER OF THAT AFTER LOSING BY FORTY POINTS TO THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS. THE BLOWOUT VICTORY WAS THE VIKINGS' FOURTEENTH WIN THIS YEAR COMPARED WITH ONLY ONE LOSS. THAT RECORD PUTS THIS YEAR'S VIKINGS IN
Lots of calls... constituent concerns on impeach
December 17, 1998 - THOUSANDS OF MINNESOTANS HAVE CALLED OR WRITTEN TO THEIR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES IN RECENT WEEKS TO EXPRESS THEIR THOUGHTS ON WHETHER PRESIDENT CLINTON SHOULD BE IMPEACHED. SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS ON CAPITOL HILL SAY THE IMPEACHMENT QUESTION HAS GENERATED A STRONGER CONSTITUENT RESPONSE THAN ANY OTHER ISSUE IN RECENT YEARS. MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO'S WILLIAM WILCOXEN HAS THIS REPORT... THIRD DISTRICT REPUBLICAN JIM RAMSTAD IS THE ONLY MINNESOTA REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAS NOT YET DECLARED HOW HE INTENDS TO VOTE ON IMPEACHMENT. BUT RAMSTAD'S INDECISION IS NOT FOR A LACK OF ADVICE. HIS CHIEF OF STAFF, DEAN PETERSON, SAYS STAFF MEMBERS ARE GETTING AN EARFUL...
