How many times do we have to say no?

Dec 11, 2016 voters vote to rededicate the1/2 cent sales tax in place for Green Light 1,but vote no to a new 5 mill property tax and Kip Holden's 30 year 600 million dollar road plan. Green Light 2 is shot down.

Sept 13, 2017 EBR Metro Council voted against putting Mayor Broome's Better Roads and Transportation Plan on the November 18 ballot bowing to public pressure and a lack of faith in the mayor. The plan would have been financed by a thirty year property tax raising 450 million dollars. The 1/2 cent GL1 tax would be rededicated and expire in 2030 as it was originally passed.

Upcoming Dec 8, 2018 are to vote on Broome's MoveBR plan. The 1.1 Billion dollar plan is to be financed by a new 1/2 cent sales tax(the original GL1 tax will remain until 2030) and will run for 30 years. It is an enormous plan. It's 400 million dollars bigger than Kip Holden's original Green Light 1 which is still incomplete.

After two failures to pass a road plan, the current mayor has doubled down and is pushing a plan over two and a half times as big as her first one that she put forward just a year ago.

What's changed? Has she gained voter confidence by proving herself? I don't think so. Or is new plan a big push by connected folks who would profit from the work? It appears so.
There is a big fat management contract to be divided up, engineering jobs and of course huge construction jobs. Then there is also millions of dollars of technology business and that brings in even more support. Of course all of this brings in campaign donations.

But will EBRougeans fed up with gridlock finally give in and vote for this beast? That's the big question.
There is something in this for everyone, and that might get it through.
