How many billionaires does new orleans have?
I guess being rich makes that money less useful. That $20 million to Oschner's Cancer Center is nothing to turn your nose at

Good job Mercedes Benz.
You should learn the "facts" before making comments. The new agreement was made in 2009 under Jindal making your previous statement just wrong.
I'd argue that it has easily been a great deal for New Orleans with the improvement of the area. Benson Tower was in ruins and the state didn't have the money to renovate it. The deal wasn't as good for the state, but that is the bullshite state of the NFL these days relying on public money

Not at all....but that doesn't change the fact that he did it for the tax break. If holding on to that money doesn't cost him money....he holds it.

Not exactly that 2009 deal lessened the burden on the state. The 2011 Mercedes Benz naming rights agreement took the burden away basically.

Your damn right it wasn't....it took a very shitty immediately unsustainable deal to the realm of just shitty and sustainable for a few years.

No way should the states have to prop up these teams.
