Sunday hours for the Library and Movie Rental thanks to the new ballpark

As part of the baseball stadium deal the library system is getting some Sunday hours. So it takes an effort like funding the baseball stadium to provide money for libraries. No wonder government funding is so messed up! Hennepin County has to bail out the city of Minneapolis Libraries, opens a new main library, extends hours, and can’t afford the planetarium that had already been planned. I fail to understand why basic planning is beyond these people. What is next? Shall we pay for schools by building the Vikings a new stadium? What happens when the ballpark is all paid for and the tax increase is no longer needed are we still going to have the money for the libraries? Wait a minute; we never get rid of tax increases, so we need not concern ourselves with that problem.
