So why give them more money to misuse?
This misuse of money is not DOTDs fault. They did not choose to divert dedicated funds towards the police department, nor did they recommend the Audobon bridge. It was the idiotic previous administrations that did these things.
If this were any other topic I would agree with you, but our infrastructure investment is too far behind to wait for the government to prove us right. We can't keep up with the desperate need with the current tax. If we could cut useless government programs to help fund this then that's great, but that's not going to happen. Infrastructure needs money now or there will never be any other topics on the OT besides how much traffic/BR sucks

I beg to differ. It's a government agency. Not a single government agency spends it's alloted money properly. They are wasteful in nature.

It can and should. Stop the flow of cash and force them to use what they have. As a whole. Not just one department. When the rubber hits the road a choice has to be made.
But when you keep handing a child more money and say "now Tommy this money is for lunch ONLY" and then they spend it on toys or the arcade, and then turn around and keep giving them more and more, what incentive does the child have to spend the money on what the money was designed for rather than what he wants it for?

Ok. So start firing people. Cut your dept in half. Start putting toll booths up at the entrance of I-10, I-12, I-49, Airline, and every other main entryway into our state. Put other toll booths up in other places throughout the state. Texas does it. Florida does it. North Carolina does it. The Republicans had a plan like this and the Dems shot it down. So let the traffic continue to suck.
The Republicans tried.....all the Dems wanna do and all the EVER wanna do is raise taxes. I sat in the House when they debated the budget bill.....EVERY democrat that stood up....all their answer was raise taxes. Raise taxes. Can't cut this, can't cut that. There is seriously something wrong a Democrat.

Suck a huge tax paying Dick. There was a master plan 25 years ago with that gas tax increase. All our troubles were supposed to be fixed back then. Nothing happened.
This is a never ending cycle of lies and abuse by the state govt at all levels as they literally steal from the tax payers. frick you and every other SOB who tries to defend or justify this theft.
