rajncajn Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 http://wwl.com/Long-term-Saints-and-...ority-/1702556 "With his official swearing in Thursday at the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, Chairman Ron Foreman is now the man in charge of addressing those issues. "The governor has reached out and said, 'this is an important asset to our state and we're gonna work together.' This is a priority," Foreman told WWL First News. He says the plan is to lock both teams into long-term deals and to keep them both from leaving. Foreman says, "If you start losing professional teams like the Saints and the Hornets it sends the wrong message that maybe you're not the world class city that you think you are." Foreman says it's important to start negotiations quickly and look ten to twenty years down the road. Foreman says Jindal sees sports as a key part to the state's future. "He wants a big vision. He wants to articulate a vision that works in Louisiana being a sports center, one of the tops in the country."" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policyvote Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 My brain saw this headline and thought "Saints and Hornets a priority for Los Angeles Governor? Man, I can't believe they'd come right out and say it . . . oh. Wait." Peace policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
