Marching Saints?
26 March 2007
The Editor, The New Orleans Times-Picayune
Dear Editor:
As a life-long fan of the New Orleans Saints, I would be saddened if the team relocated out of Louisiana ("Deal buys time in Saints negotiations," March 26). But surely Gov. Blanco and the state legislature have no business taxing ordinary citizens in order to bribe the Saints' billionaire owner to keep the franchise in New Orleans. And surely Louisianans who've endured Katrina, Rita, and FEMA are sturdy enough to suffer the loss of a football team.
Sincerely,
