It was all a set up sham, there was even a police officer who ran into the shooter and didn’t do his job. Lives could have been saved. Also: if anyone went to USAspending.gov & looked up Uvalde contracts from Feds, shocking amount of $$$ flows thru this little town/area! I have, do your duty America

McDonald's boys don't need conspiracy theories to back up our thoughts. Just facts

Max DeYoung

Lisa, I love that the boys from McDonalds, are questioning your skills. ROTFLOL

Well the quality of the medical staff over at MU isn`t that great. I could tell you some stories.......

Jack L

OMG!

Adam

When she screws up being an aesthetic nurse at MU, I wonder if she has a conspiracy theory for that too. I now know don't ever go to MU for anything.

Max DeYoung

Adam, not everyone lives a blissful life like you and Jack.

Jack L

Oh Oh we are heading towards the "faked shootings" conspiracy theories again. Next we will be hearing that these children didn`t die at all and it was all faked. Tell that to the parents.

Adam

Imagine the life you could have if you weren't spending so much time looking up conspiracy theories.....

Max DeYoung

The Austin American-Statesman is the most liberal news station in Austin. Austin is the most liberal city in Texas, so how could this be a wrong decision. Liberal's never make wrong decisions. LOL

Public officials were critical of the decision to release the video before the victims' families had seen it.

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

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Harry D

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.
