A Vikings stadium construction proposal took its biggest step forward ever Monday night when a House committee approved the nearly $1 billion plan. After a decade of discussion about whether to build a new stadium, the House commerce committee decided on a split voice vote to advance the plan. Since the bill missed a legislative deadline, the House Rules Committee now must give it special permission for more committee hearings if it is to remain alive.

Minnesota’s legislators want to go home for the year in a month, or a little more, but the crystal ball showing how to get there is murky. The list of issues with questionable futures is long. And the work goes on under a cloud of a Senate sex scandal. Of major issues, one to require voters to produce photographic identifications appears to have the clearest route to passage.

Funding stadium construction with pulltab and bingo revenue may not be a safe bet. A professor who has studied the issue said predicting the impact that changing state law would have on pulltab and bingo revenue is chancy.

More Vikings stadium plans emerge
One plan is similar to an agreement that the Minnesota Vikings and Ramsey County have been pushing since last year -- but which has fizzled because the Minnesota metro County has been unable to develop a county funding source that key stadium legislators support. The other is scheduled to be unveiled today by three Republican state senators -- two of them freshmen.
