Page "Washington, Louisiana" Paragraph 4

According to a 2007 report, Washington was named one of the 10 worst speed traps in the state of Louisiana.

Washington made 50. 84 % of its revenue, an average of roughly $ 370 per capita population, from fines and forfeitures in the 2005 fiscal year.

This is, in effect, a tax on non-citizens to sustain the town's budget amidst populist policies of not raising taxes to live within their means.
