The bottom line is if he "loved" the State of LA he wouldn't be holding them hostage on the Superdome deal. The leges have expressed interest under multiple governors to get a better deal....Benson has balked every time.

They re-did the deal under Jindal at the state's asking. They literally did what you're stating.

Benson is no friend of the state....he is in it to make money.

Of course he's in it to make money

But lately, he's been giving that money away to causes around the city of new orleans

but to paint the man as some kind of savior or "Louisian's favorite son" is down right idiotic.

His purchase of both the Saints and Pels are the biggest reason they are still here. Saints would be in Jacksonville if he hadn't bought them...people seem to forget that.

I wouldn't call him a savior, but there are few people who have had a bigger impact on new orleans. That's the bottom line.
