Tom and Rita Benson demand weaker protections for Louisianians hurt on the job

Worker's comp laws undermined because, you know, Who Dat!
BATON ROUGE -- A bill that started out trying to lower the New Orleans Saints payouts of workers compensation benefits to injured players was expanded in a House committee today to apply to all employers and employees in the state.

On a 6-3 vote, the House Committee on Labor and Industrial Relations approved House Bill 1097 by Rep. Cameron Henry, R-Jefferson, that would have prohibited Saints in the future from filing workers' compensation claims in a more liberal state like California and have the Saints pick up the tab in Louisiana.
