If MU loses $70 million in funding, the difference will have to come from somewhere? Often times that means people losing jobs, jobs becoming consolidated, and tuition costs rising for students. As an adjunct instructor at MU I already see that school is expensive and I am underpaid.

MU has plenty of DEI professors that they could let go.

How about a comprehensive audit by an outside firm to see where every nickel is going.

It’s going to fund the athletic department and the sports programs. There needs to be a law banning taxpayer funded state employees from attending college and professional athletic events in the state. Make it a class a felony with a life in prison sentence. Also revoke their degrees and pensions

It’s “couldn’t care less”, dumm azz. You must be a UM Engineering school grad to be that stupid. Go back to your highway dept office cubical and figure out more ways to mess up real people’s lives with your “synchronized stoplights” and “federal regulations” on highway signs.

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.
