Anoka County's gamble

by Cathy Wurzer, Minnesota Public Radio

Gov. Tim Pawlenty's Stadium Screening Committee is due to make its recommendation to the Legislature on Feb., 2. The committee has narrowed down the options for a new Vikings stadium to sites in Eden Prairie and Blaine. If the Blaine site is chosen, that city and Anoka County would contribute up to $240 million toward the cost of the stadium. Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer talked with Steve Novak, Anoka County division manager for government service and the county's lead person on the stadium project.
