re: Why is LA so against toll roads?

You're wrong on all fronts, my man. You are adding jobs. Less desired sectors? What kind of nonsense is that? For one, you create the opportunity for engineering and contracting firms to expand their departments and hire more professionals. You add to DOTD staff and you also add to the blue-collar work force.

You may be shocked, but the increase in tax was proposed for the only purpose to provide increased revenue for infrastructure projects in the state. That's it. The transfer of funds to state police will not be allowed for this revenue. It will all go to infrastructure projects.

How can you not agree with economic development? Like I said earlier, there are manufacturers and corporations that have avoided this state and their main factor for doing so was the lack of infrastructure.

If you build new corridors or add capacity to existing ones, you increase the flow of traffic and commercial businesses will spring up.
