More Stuff They Don't Want You To Know
Ya'll need to get ready. A campaign is on to take more money out of your pockets by the State for roads. The big contracting companies have already created a front organization to "educate" the Public. The Highway Trust Fund generates enough money to take care of our needs. (Hell, they put up those fancy floral-design noise barriers along I10 in Metairie, didn't they?) The problem is that money is being used by the State for purposes other than laying blacktop or concrete or using the money to get matching Federal money. Read this article. That's right, alot of it is being used for salaries and retirement for the engineers who study things to death. Remember when one of their proposals for extending Hwy. 3235 to Hwy. 90 was by using the Grand Bois highway and then through Houma to get us to Hwy. 90? The law of mathematics that says the shortest line between two points is a straight one is apparently a foreign concept to DOTD.
I say, use what you got for what you got it for. If there isn't enough money in DOTD's general fund to pay salaries for all those engineers with nothing better to do on a daily basis than hitting this blog, then don't hire anymore.
Tell Loulan and Reggie to rededicate the Trust Fund solely for building or repairing roads, not for salaries.
