Ever driven the roads of Louisiana? This is more a make my brother-in-law (the road builder) rich, who will then fund my campaign bill.
I remember how bad driving across the state was until I-20 was completed. That feeling only lasted out five years. The whole I-20 had to be was torn up, including the road bed. It took several year and millions of dollars to rebuild. I never knew the details but the state has a reputation of corruption. Sound like a sleazy contractor paid off sleazy politicians then used substandard materials. The rebuilt I-20 has lasted several decades.
