NEW ORLEANS -- Negotiators for the state and for the New Orleans Saints left a meeting on Thursday saying it appears to be time to get Gov. Kathleen Blanco and team owner Tom Benson involved in negotiations on a new deal to keep the team in Louisiana.
"We've had a substantive discussion and covered a lot of ground today and in past meetings," Saints vice president Arnold Fielkow said. "At this point we think itÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢s appropriate for each side to go and review these with our principals."

The negotiators had made what Fielkow called "good movement." Neither he nor the state's point man, Tim Coulon, would discuss specifics.
