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

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.
