We have close to the highest effective tax rate in the country but some of the worst infrastructure. 10+% sales tax, income tax, property tax, all add up to politicians buddies with contracts and entitlements for voters. I have zero confidence taxes will pay for shite. The toll route is the ONLY way this ever gets done.

People in Shreveport and Monroe don't want to pay for a new bridge in BR. Although this is short sighted and provincial, it's a problem. Tolls are the only solution. I'm not sure what the holdup is. (I mean, other than pissant politicians in WBR and Iberville fighting over where to put the bridge.)

Just build the fricking thing.
