In typical Louisiana fashion, 25% will go to the roads, 25% will go to bureaucracy, 50% will go to politicians.

Why do much on technology, sidewalks, landscaping and enhancements?

Believe it or not, there are people out there pushing for this.

Can they just spend the money we already give them, responsibly??

Tired of paying more and more taxes because the people in office are financially fricking retarded.

We can’t trust these idiots to do a given like swear in the dead member’s widow without public shaming.

You think giving them a shite ton of money and cementing BR sales taxes as some of the highest in the country is a great idea? I don’t.

25% of the plan or more is not roads.


16 of the 68 are “community improvement” sidewalks, drainage/curbing, etc.

18%

They will spend 75% on studies and then give the rest to someone’s brother in law who will screw it all up

frick Loupe. I emailed his office expressing my opposition to this and got nary a response. Not even ‘frick you, I’m voting for it.’


This is big-boy politics now, baw, not small-time Laurel politics.

I am with the guy on page one of this thread. They have enough of my money. Cut it from somewhere else and spend it on the roads. fricking library system is running a surplus and looking for stuff to spend money on. This isn’t a for profit endeavor. Cut their budget.

And they take the bait every time.

We bought technology in the GL plan, remember? How did that go?

I see the word tax in the voting booth and it’s an automatic no. I don’t even read it.
