Long-term Saints: Gayle Benson won’t own the Saints forever, and the team has a succession plan in place for when that time comes. Team officials spelled it out for us in an exclusive multi-part report with WVUE Fox-8. And some related stories: - Meet Dennis Lauscha, a linchpin in the succession plan.
- Could Tom Benson’s relatives still go after the succession plan in court?
And stay tuned to NOLA.com for more in the coming days, including a look at the Pelicans, the NBA team Benson owns.
Dimming: In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, Entergy has seen its stock price take a hit. What does that mean for the power company? And for its customers across Louisiana?
Deducting: Need help covering that homeowners deductible after Ida? If you're a New Orleans resident, you might qualify for a city program that helps cover those costs. Check it out.
More brats, more bier: Earlier this week, Lunch Line mentioned the much-anticipated restart of Oktoberfest at the Deutsches Haus in New Orleans. But it won’t be the only place with oom-pah-pah bands and Chicken Dances. Our Ian McNulty says get your lederhosen ready!
Hope you enjoyed the Lunch Line. Thanks for taking a break with us today. BW
