Anyone with a spouse, a house, and a family, would say yes. Anyone still living off mom and dad, or getting free handouts from the government, would say no.

The only reason these questions are ask each day is to stir controversy & get people to argue.

The economy is fine, everything is fine. Everything is Norma, and nothing bad is happening. The only reason you’d be worried is if your poor or don’t have a government job. Sheesh. It’s all fine, so get over yourselves. It’s not like Trump is President.

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

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

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.

Steve Baumann

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.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

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.

Shelley Vansell

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.
