Attack foes stadium bonds with formal meeting demand
Louisiana critics challenge a $118 million stadium bond sale by demanding a formal public board meeting. State Reps Pavey Branton and Sen John Schwegmann say the Bond and Tax Board did not comply with state law when approving the issuance, instead using private contacts. They aim to disrupt bond rating and sales by delaying the formal action. The board, comprising the governor and state officials, usually treats bond issuance as a formality. Oneal says a formal meeting may be held if Branton provides written notice, but he declined to comment on the legality of private approvals. The lawmakers released their stance via telegram to Standard and Poor and Moody’s.
