Louisiana’s fiscal budget is sitting on a surplus of over $1billion dollars.
Wrong. It’s more like $2 Billion dollars.

And they may phase out that extra special sales tax before 2025.

You show me a state that's running a 2 billion dollar surplus, that's a state that's extremely well run. Then...you hear it's Louisiana. That's when you realize it's because they spend the bare minimum on it's citizens, and this 2 billion will be put into "special" funds that will be appropriated by the states buddies. It's sad...this should be great news.

Get some trash crews on the damn interstate and highways. Looks like they haven't been cleaned in years.


There are weeds taller than JBE on the side of I-12.

I can already hear a strong, long, steady stream of piss beginning.

I know a couple of bridges on I-10 need replacing.

I drove on airline highway in Prairieville last Friday and couldn’t believe how completely shitty the road was.



There are probably a dozen stretches or major highway like that in La. It’s functionally obsolete and needs to be widened, the pavement is worn, the reflectors are missing, the drainage is terrible, and the lighting is non existent.

Just a few more…US 61 north of Baton Rouge, US 190 between Baton Rouge and Hammond, pretty much all of I-12, a huge chunk of US 190 between Opelousas and Livonia, most of LA 1, about 100 miles of I-10, etc.
