You know how many times I've heard this shite? It's always a "dedicated" fund until it's needed elsewhere. Or, as in the case with the lottery, they simply reduce the budget for that dept. by whatever amount the new "dedicated" funds generate.
Sorry Sad, but this state has done all it can to betray my trust. At that it has succeeded. And I won't trust them with a penny until they get my trust back.
Okay, but what about City-Parish taxes that go to things like that Greenlight Project (pretty obvious success under Kip), BREC (one of the best park systems in the country), and the Library?
That's totally separate funding and personnel from the State and DOTD.

I agree those local programs have worked well. I'm still not in the mood to support any new taxes or tax increases. The success:failure ratio with govt spending is still not in the tax payers favor. When it comes to the state or Feds, it really sucks.
Moreover, hitting people on fuel is total shite. You can quit drinking or smoking. You can by less expensive gifts and lower your sales tax. Fuel, like groceries and utilities, is something you have to buy. Taxing it is a bitch move.
And save the public transportation, bike/walk shite, cause that's the last option for most people in this state. Peddle that shite in Chicago, NY, etc.
