I got the alert, then a call from my husband asking where Gotham City, MO was. lol the googleing was real

Jack L

I hope they don`t plan on sending out a lot of these phone alerts. The weather alerts they put on TV constantly warning us that it`s raining in Joplin are annoying enough//

Kevin Wilkins

Yes my wife and I did get it and it was hilarious

Lisa Gore

Funny how IlTrumpo tweeted I’m Batman, just having some fun, 2 hours prior to the Batman-related Alert...ijs.

HelenHighwater

I was waiting for Batman to come and save the day.

Max

In his eighteen wheeler?

Judy Martin

We both got the 'emergency' alert and the noise scared us half to death. Then we got the terrible noise again when they said they were cancelling it.

Max

From Gotham City, Missouri. It does not exist. More loss of faith, in our government agencies.

Jack L

Gotham City is the fictional city that Batman worked out of. Must have been a joke

Max

Batman works out of Washington DC now, when he's not driving an eighteen wheeler, or saving Private Brian

Income tax is unconstitutional when all other taxes are placed on top of it.

Shawn Maupin

Because I believe taxation is theft!

Dennis Ganahl

It's time to position Missouri for growth. We need to attract business and population growth not more stagnation. Taxes need to be affordable based on what people can pay, not what government wants to spend. Government needs to budget just like families.

Slate Rogers

I am in favor of a state income tax cap of 3 percent and eliminating the personal property tax completely.

C Sims

I support doing away with all taxes

Max

The harder that people work, the more taxes they pay. That's wrong. The people that won't work should pay the most taxes.

Debbie A.

It is unconstitutional and theft

Bob Mahacek

We need to streamline government, make it more efficient and have lower taxes to attract more residents as well as businesses to the state.

Mike Roemerman

This is the #1 tax cut that will help Grow Missouri. Eliminating State Income Tax will attract Business, Create Jobs and increase our population. This also exclusively benefits Missourians.

Nancy Hooyman

I'm 70 and it takes too much money away from me.

Pam Ames

The citizens of Missouri are taxed enough, we deserve to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor.Next stop should be phasing out personal property taxes, sales tax, etc, etc…

Bill Douglas

Ban state employees from attending professional and college sports events. Also ban state employees from displaying college/university personalized license plates on their vehicles.

Max

If phasing out taxes, phases out Socialism, then it's a great idea.

We eliminated capital gains tax last year and now our target is income tax? I feel we should get more productive spending and figure out the position of our tax burden before we think about eliminating income tax. It feels like Gov. Kehoe is using this as political points.

Steve Baumann

We all need to be paying our fair share. There are other questionable taxes to be looked into and removed. Along with tax cuts, cuts to the bureaucracy as well.

nathaniel bock

The tax we need to eliminate or change is personal property tax on vehicles, tractors, trailers, etc. There should be no taxes paid on anything an individual has owned longer than ten years.

Will Mason

Sales taxes are paid by the poor. Income taxes favor the poor. Unless a refund of sales taxes is an option, income taxes are cheaper for low income people. And a sales tax refund is probably just as complex as filing income taxes. Either way the government is getting our money.

Hayden Hamlin

Missouri barely pays for WIC, SNAP, Healthcare, and education as is. The Trump Admin passed a bill that will cancel more funding to states for these. Who's going to replace the main source of revenue? The billionaire class? Absolutely not. Our state only offers cheap living; this will raise prices.

Max

Socialism is not the solution.

Max

Maybe some people should put more effort into working for a living?
