Opat Concerned Stadium Boondoggle Could End Political Career

From Patrick Reusse: "If this issue finishes me [politically], it was one worthy dying on." -- Mike Opat, who was out front in putting together a ballpark deal to secure the Twins' future here, and faces November reelection as a Hennepin County commissioner. Here's hoping. I'd be interested in hearing from Mike Opat's constituents. Does Opat return phone calls? Does he attend community meetings? The DFL will be having their county convention in Minneapolis next Saturday. Opat's opponent, Tom Reynolds will be going. It will be interesting to see what his reception is.
