re: EBR Parish has spent over $700 million on traffic projects since 2006.

I'd rather the money be spent on parks, green spaces, libraries, etc. then out in some unincorporated area of EBR parish. People bitch about money being spent downtown, but a vibrant downtown is a good thing. There are actually a few progressive-minded folks in BR who know what needs to be done to make the city better. Check out cities that are highly desirable places to live and you'll see clean streets, well-maintained public parks, libraries, museums, etc. Kip Holden, God bless him, was trying to drag BR kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Time will tell whether Sharon Weston-Broome follows his lead. Wasting taxpayer and grant money in north BR without dealing with the crime problem there would be a huge mistake.

Then quit taking our taxes.
Over half the population of EBR lives outside of BR city limits. We pay taxes for libraries, schools and parks like everyone else.
You have no clue.
