Louisiana has the 9th lowest gas tax at 20.01 cents. Bump it to 37.01 and louisana would be the 9th highest. Pretty big jump.
For me and the wife, that would cost us about $4.25 a week, assuming 25 gal per week. Not a bad deal if the money was spent properly. That's a pretty big if.

Exactly. 17 cents times 15 gallons is $2.55 dollars. If its gonna raise half a billion dollars that can be spent effectively, that's more than worth it. If it's gonna be pocketed by some a-hole, well it was worth a shot in trying to fix this shitty state

After shaking down the DOTD vendors with a fund raiser in Manchac for his brother (supposedly raised $750K) JBE had to do something to pay them back with our money.

100% chance it won't. The funds WILL NOT be dedicated to just roads and infrastructure.....it will go to other departments as well. That is a FACT. Steve Carter is a POS and would never admit that either.

That's the problem. It won't. People generally wouldn't give a damn if it was really needed to right the ship.
However we've all been down this road...
