Whoa whoa whoa hold on their chief. Brec is one of the few things this parish does right. I’m happy to pay taxes to fund Brec because we use the park system almost daily, and the parks are (mostly) in good shape. I’m fine funding something that everyone in this parish can access and I can actually see the results of said funding and utilize what has been created. You want to bitch about a waste of taxpayer dollars? Go see how much money the EBR Library System has and all the beautiful new libraries built lately that nobody freaking uses.

Mostly in good shape shouldn't be the standard when they're sitting on $100MM.

Every park should be absolutely pristine.

1. I bitched about the libraries too

2. You're ok with having a $100 million surplus?
