MOVEBR...are you voting for or aganist

Voted last Friday

No

I am voting against because I don’t trust our officials to do what they say they are going to do with the money

Glad I left BR in 2006, when it was still a nice place to live.

Two "no" votes from our house.

MovEBR

I'm in town from San Diego. I'm voting against it.

totally agree that BR needs to spend more $$ on roads and mental health facilities.

Voting NO

I'm all for Movember, I like not having to shave my face for a month

Good for Baton Rouge for passing legislation to make it official
