Where are those sidewalks on Gardere that have been in the works for years from GL funding?
They will definitely do it right this time and the money collected will DEFINITELY go to what they promise.

Don’t worry. The tax is for 30 years. It gives them a big window.
It is embarrassing that there are people out there not infuriated by the state of our government and politicians.

Not all of the roads being improved are local. There are state highway projects listed.

Well, it’s clear from all the no votes that the majority are fine with nothing being done to fix the roads.

I still haven’t made up my mind on both tax votes tomorrow. However, most here that are voting no do so because they believe the current levels of taxation are sufficient and road improvements, mental health facilities, etc. can be funded by cutting other non-necessary resources and restructuring the budget.

Or maybe we should force our local government to live within it's means. The city-parish budget is nearly $1B, and the state just found 300million JBE didn't know existed. Let's start there.

Just like socialists. Don’t worry, they’ll get it right next time.

Eh. These dedicated taxes do get spent on their intended purpose.
The issue here is did the C-P actually make an effort to fund these projects from their existing budget?
Posted on 12/7/18 at 9:58 pm to Golfer
There are dedicated projects listed and then pork projects like enhancements which are up for grabs.

They foolishly squander the tax money I pay now. No way in hell im giving them more

People who vote no know it's a good idea they are just so partisan that they dont want Broome to have a win.

I don’t live there anymore and I loathe taxes especially in a state that misuses funds as much as Louisiana.
But BR needs the infrastructure. Badly.

Green Light Plan did yield improvements. It just didn’t go far enough.

How do people not see how this works and how are the people of EBR not in the streets with torches and pick forks? I won't even start on the complete morons that are thinking about voting yes on this or any new taxes for their "leaders" to squander
