MPR's Martin Kaste reports that Minnesota Indian tribes are reacting skeptically to suggestions they use their casino revenues to help pay for a new Twins Stadium. The co-chairman of the Legislature's special stadium finance task force met with the chief executive of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe in an attempt to get Indian money for a possible stadium financing package... but at least one Indian official in St. Paul says state politicians are "crazy" to think they can convince tribes to pay for the stadium when Minnesota taxpayers won't.

State representative and stadium task force co-chairman Loren Jennings says he knows he has a tough sell, trying to get the state's Indian tribes to ante up for a baseball stadium...but he says the state COULD bring some very tempting incentives to the negotiating table.
