St Paul Mayor Norm Coleman says the deal to build a new hockey arena for the Minnesota "Wild" is good for the state AND good for taxpayers -- no matter what his critics say. Yesterday evening (WED) Coleman was grilled by state legislators, many of whom think the arena deal is politically and financially flawed. Minnesota Public Radio's Martin Kaste reports: The House-and-Senate Bonding Conference Committee invited the mayor to "answer questions" about the city's arena deal, but it turned out THEY intended to do a lot of the talking. Jerry Janezich, a DFL State Senator from Chisholm, laid the situation out for Coleman: ((I almost impossible, I think, to try to do something like this. And it's not about politics, Mayor. It's not even close to that. I mena, everything here, all the revenue goes to the team! All of it!))
