re: Why is LA so against toll roads?

You won't do anything to change "corrupt politicians" unless you overthrow the government. So, stop using that as a crutch. We all don't trust them.

But this particular legislation would raise the gas tax for the one purpose of fixing our roads/bridges/coast. It would add layers of transparency on DOTD as well.

In doing so, you're creating jobs, fixing the infrastructure problem, and adding economic benefits to the state. Do you realize that one of the main reasons plants and manufacturers avoid Louisiana is because of inferior infrastructure?
