Well Shorty using your logic why do we continue to write Benson checks if not because it is clear this is a drain on the taxpayers?

If the Saints are revenue positive for the state wouldn't we be better just to excuse them of taxes and quit writing them checks?? That would be easy wouldn't it?

You will NEVER ever hear Benson say quit the subsidies and just excuse of income taxes and sales taxes.

Huh?

Perhaps. I really don't know. I would have to see the calculations to see which one generates the better ROI.

Has this even been discussed?

By the way. Just a knee jerk reaction but I suspect total amount that would be "excused' if they did that would be FAR more than the total subsidy you've listed. If so, why would you want the govt to even consider such a silly thing?
