Louisiana Leaders Hold Onto New Orleans Hornets
Louisiana political leaders have managed to hold onto the New Orleans Hornets for another season after cajoling residents and businesses to scoop up tickets, but that's only a short-term fix. Whoever is governor in the upcoming term will have to decide just how much he or she wants to keep Louisiana's NBA team and what the state will pony up to craft a long-term lease. The Hornets' agreement with the state runs out in 2014.
