Is it a state or parish road/bridge? Why wouldn't maintenance fall under our already paid tax dollars. This is eerily similar to the GNO. Bridge had been paid off for years and there was no telling where that money was going. When they claimed they would have to shut down the ferry and lay off a bunch of officers it got heated but here we are now with LSP patrolling (as they should) and funding for lights and maintenance coming from local tax dollars. (As it should)

Less than 20% was going to bridge repairs and bridge police.

They were taking in $1.7 million a month in tolls, despite missing out on another 200K because of toll tags that weren't billing property.
