Losing 10 days for something that should have already been included in benefits is nuts. Only helps those planning to have a family. Also the short term disability is only 60% of pay which for most is not enough. Cutting benefits without pay increases for 2 years. Not a good look.

They are also capping the pay out to 10 days total of your PTO. What about folks that have been working here for many years and have a lot of banked vacation. Doesn't seem right. There will be a lot of people retiring or leaving before this goes into effect

Trading 10 paid days off for benefits that many won't ever use is in no way an improvement.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
