You can't tax a population but so much. You can't ignore all the taxes to justify making gas taxes one of the highest rates in the nation.

And you can't ignore the fact that the same corrupt, inefficient crowd that runs the state is the same crowd that is in charge of roads and bridges. They'll waste half the money on their cronies and in the people in BR will be stuck with one lane on I-10.

The fact that the situation has existed for thirty years and they build a bridge in St Francidvilke proves my point. I don't trust them.

This is such a good example of what Louisiana does wrong with our tax money. That bridge was such a dumb idea and a waste of money. There isn't a big enough population or traffic up there to remotely justify it when it is badly needed South of BR
