I suggest that the local and state representatives in Florida and Minnesota meet with the ownership of the Marlins and Twins and tell them that under no circumstances will the city or state contribute tax money to the construction of a sports stadium.

I also suggest that the local and state representatives in Florida and Minnesota hold a press conference during which they demand that these franchises move to another city as quickly as possible, if that is what these franchises intend to do.
