MOA wants $234 million subsidy

Mall of America wants $234 million subsidy package

Excerpt:

This year, the megamall wants $181 million from state taxpayers to build an 8,000-space parking garage. That's the centerpiece of a package of state and local subsidies worth about $234 million, money the Mall of America says it needs for a $1.9 billion expansion that would double its size.

Comment: Bad policy! Wrong for Minneapolis! I've been to the Mall of America 5 times in 11 years. The last time was 2 years ago (my cousin was visiting from Michigan and had to see it).
