   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,
   Donald J. Boudreaux
