I knew somebody was going to show up with that dumb shite.

If we didn't pay astronomical amounts of taxes and not get shite for it, I'd be cool with it. If the toll rates aren't fricking retarded, I'm cool with it. If the projects would EVER get done, I'm cool with If there's any accountability with where the money goes, I'm cool with it.

This is rape and it is bullshite and its undoubtedly making somebodys cousin rich. They can frick off with this shite.

All toll roads are making someone rich. You're paying for it one way or another.

I live in rural Oklahoma and the county section line road I live off of is horrible. Really bad. Stretches of the gravel road wash out when it rains and it's washboarded to hell.

But you know what? I don't care. I'm fine with it because I have 3 pickup trucks and I'm not about to pay more in taxes.

Nicer infrastructure means more you're going to have to pay higher taxes or more tolls and I'm not willing to do either. If something belongs to me, I maintain and improve it. If it doesn't belong to me then I'm going to do everything in power to avoid paying a dime to maintain it.

$.50 for residents and $1.50 for non resident commuters.

I believe you just have to get a GI license. I've thought about doing it. If the wife and I drive down separate, it adds up.

The point is we pay a shitload of both and get shite for it.

They are building a new section starting in Golden Meadow, it will probably go to $40 when that's complete.

They do offer a discount to locals for residents of Grand Isle & Fourchon but I assume you'd have to prove you actually live there. I can't find any information on the rate though.


Exempt from tolls if you're a resident of Grand Isle. Drivers license would need to be updated.

Thanks for the post.
Plenty other places for me to fish.
I despise tolls.
