This is our government out of control. Menthol cigs are more popular for some ethnic groups, so they have to be controlled. A government sponsored racist attack.

Tobacco is a legal product and adults should be allowed to make their own decisions.

Either ban all cigarettes or leave them alone. As a former smoker, menthol at that, to ban certain ones is going to target a certain audience no matter which way you go. What a person puts in his or her own body is that person's decision. Why increase the divisiveness among the American people?

What does race have to do with cigarettes? See KMIZ, you are part of the problem. Why must EVERYTHING be about race to the media. You hear all the time about stereotypes, and the media continues to push it.

It's not about cigarettes. It's about control. Our government is out of control.

It’s none of the government’s business what people choose to put in their bodies. Plus, to ban the tobacco products that’s the most popular with African Americans, as if they can’t decide what’s best for them, is incredibly patronizing if not racist.

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.
