http://www.nola.com/politics/index.s...tax_break.htmlA tax break that's a key element of the state's new lease agreement with the New Orleans Hornets was derailed Wednesday when it failed to get the 53 votes needed to clear the Louisiana House. Lawmakers voted 49-46 for the extension of the annual $3.65 million tax break the team now gets. The break would run through 2024, with a possible five-year extension through 2029.
