On the list includes a new bridge for BR, adding lanes from the bridge to the split, adding an extra lane in both directions on I-10 between BR and Lafayette and a northern loop among other things.



but, but, but, all theses things were supposed to be dones 20 years ago with the last gas tax. You mean they weren't? Well what happened? We were told all Louisiana's traffic woes would be fixed with that gas tax.

And wheres this new bridge gonna be built? Do you have a proposed location? do you have a consensus? Hell, do you even have an idea?
You want me to pay more taxes now and you can't even begin to supply the first detail of what you want to do.

You want to know how to regain my trust? Quit asking me for more money. Quit telling me about all the things you're gonna do...one day. Come to me and tell me exactly where you want to build your bridge. Show me that everyone is on board. Tell me, to the penny, how much it should cost. Show me that you've done due diligence and that a $30 or $30 billion dollar bridge is gonna cost just that. Then we can discuss funding it. Quit treating MY MONEY (tax dollars) like its your money that your entitled to. ITS NOT. Telling me about all the shite you're going to build when you are years away from doing so is horse shite and leads to higher costs- that require....(wait for it)...MORE MONEY.

Sorry boo, you have zero credibility. And you offered nothing here to convince me you should be given benfit of the doubt.

They are giving you 85% of 50%, and 27% of something else, and each legislator control over maintenance funds, etc.

Ironclad????

No way.

Ideally....Plaquemine Point somewhere immediately south of Dow.

It's close to West Baton Rouge but still within Iberville Parish. Preferably they'll issue bonds that can be paid off with toll revenue over 30 years.
