Melinda Deslatte / Associated Press BATON ROUGE, La. -- Louisiana is short of what it owes the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Hornets by more than $6 million this year under the state's contractual obligations to the pro sports teams. And the shortfall is expected to more than triple next year. |

Of course, they are ignoring the Billion Dollar surplus this year in the state coffers with oil royalties likely at an all time high. Same ol', same ol' in good ol' Louisiana!

You can vent here! Gasoline is getting out of hand. We are about to become a nation of city states because no one can afford to travel anywhere anymore. This might be the first time in ages I don't go to a Saints game this year because airline tickets are just ridiculous. And the oil companies keep on hogging up the profits like pigs that can't stop eating at the trough even though they are full. Solar and wind power cannot get here fast enough for me.

Well considering this entire country is going through a recession right now, I would say our "country" is in trouble.
