I feel as though these tax funds are not protected. For instance, what about the casino money? So many plans and promises were made about the allocations but many professions have not seen any benefits. Hopefully this law will not pass. Although I agree with paying for what I use and it is obvious that Louisiana needs repaired roads but the construction and engineering companies will benefit from this tax hike!

I’m sure highway workers and such get paid at least decently well paid and there is no reason they should try and trick people into paying more taxes so they can make more money. That is messed up of them and hopefully this law does not pass because I pay enough taxes as is. Plus if they wanted to make more money they should have went to college or at least not have dropped out of high school.
