They can waste money on another Children's Museum in New Orleans or countless unnecessary pet projects with localized impact.

Anything but infrastructure.

I guess that means no mid-year cuts, then?

If JBE really cares about reelection, he will allocate that money to start work on the Comite River Diversion.

Only question is which of JBE's family member's new consulting business will get the no-bid contract.

They are trying to do this along with a left hand exit for Terrace Ave ($15 million which is already funded).

I think they really need to push harder on this. At least enough to get the damn thing started.

Local and Federal dollars are being held up by the state that doesn't want to contribute.
