The green grass grows all around..but upon the roof?

The Minneapolis Silly Council is looking to grow vegetation on the roof of the Target Center!!?? The estimated cost increase over a conventional roof is about $300,000, but claims have been made they will be able to recover those costs within five years. I’d like to see those figures. I’d be all for this crazy scheme if Council Members like Benson and Goodman, who are pushing this, can show where the proof of the savings comes from. Too many times has the Silly Council made claims they couldn’t back up.
The Shadow will add $300,000 to the Silly Council’s waste bucket if this plan gets the go ahead, but I’m sure that it won’t be the final tally for the cost.Note to the elected “Geniuses” in St. Paul: Minneapolis is looking to put another $300,000 into a project that isn’t needed. Remember that the next time Minneapolis comes around with it’s hand out.
