Second Ward, Minneapolis

This is a public policy forum that was established in 2006 by Minneapolis Second Ward (Green) City Council Member Cam Gordon and his policy aide Robin Garwood to share what they were working on and what life in City Hall was like. After serving 4 terms Cam lost his relection in 2021 but has continued to be involved in local politics and to use this forum to report and share his perspective on public policy. Please feel free to comment on posts, within certain ground rules.

Stadium Votes in the Senate

Just like in the House, the majority of Minneapolis State Senators voted against the stadium bill.

Voting yes:


Linda Higgins
Ken Kelash

Voting no:

Scott Dibble
Kari Dziedzic
Jeff Hayden
Patricia Torres Ray


Again, if this is a good deal for Minneapolis, why couldn't stadium boosters convince two thirds of our senate delegation to vote for it?

The numbers are now in, and they're not pretty:

House: nine out of eleven opposed.

Senate: four out of six opposed.

Council: six out of thirteen opposed.


Maybe the stadium deal really is a bad idea for Minneapolis residents?
