Senator Loses Bid To Block Stadium in Louisiana
Sen. John Schwegmann lost a bid to block stadium lease agreements as the Senate Finance Committee gave an unfavorable report on his measure. The plan would prevent the governor from entering a lease with the stadium governing body, which critics say would pledge state credit to bond construction for the New Orleans domed stadium. Supporters argue the lease could help sell bonds, while critics, including AFL-CIO leader Victor Bussie, pressed for the project. The committee also noted projected annual intake around 7.2 million dollars for the stadium.
