re: Tough ticket for New Orleans? Not if you are a legislator in this state

I don't think they should get the opportunity to buy them before season ticket holders. That's my problem with it. Even though they are buying it, they are getting an opportunity by the mere fact that they are a legislator to do something season ticket holders are not. Whether they are buying them or not, it is a perk of their job. And the legislature, although they passed a law banning free tickets, needs to close the loophole and not get any favoritism on tickets.

I didnt read the whole thread but something needs to be said. It may be an unpopular thing but the legislatures mean far more to the university than the average season ticket holder. The only guys who mean more to the university are the TAF guys in the hundreds who are getting 6 tickets. Even with them its debatable on who means more. Academics is politics and you cant bite the hand that feeds you. Joe blow season ticket holder will be replaced by the hundreds on the wait list. Joe represenitive can wreak funding havoc for years.
