re: Y'all ready to pay more in gas taxes?

I don't mind paying taxes if they are used appropriately. However I don't trust Louisiana to do a freaking thing right in that area.

And only a fraction if this money will actually be put towards roads by 2020. They'll find a way to dip into the fund to pay for some other bullshite.

It won't be spent on that, but someone will get a raise

Medicaid and prisons

If the price of gas or gas tax goes up it's like I'm getting a raise. maybe you should try to negotiate a gas card with your next job if it bothers you

if the only way you're harmed is at the pump.

The cost of most goods will go up with the increased gas tax.

Prisons are expensive as hell

Like the cost of most goods decreased when the price of gas was cut in half?

I don't work for the state

Rise in gas prices justified raises cost of all goods.

Of course, they will never go down no matter what a gallon costs. Econ 1001

A 23 cent hike in the state gas tax would make LA #3 in terms of most expensive state gas taxes behind only PA and WA.

If they want to raise taxes they should first show what the 20.01 cents per gallon has been used for over the past few years. (I bet you it ain't all going to roads.)
