Everyone deserves to have a chance to live a healthy life, especially the youngest people in our community. They are our future. Wearing a mask is the least we can do!

Max

Does that include babies that some people call fetuses?

Adam Schrader

Only way to stop this virus is to mask up and get vaccinated. People, geez, it's about doing the right thing for everyone's health. Not a political issue.

Zaos Gonzolez

Neither of those things work. The vaccine does not do anything. Try exercising, eating veggies, and taking Chinese vitamins. Only then you’ll be set free.

Thank you CPS for working hard to keep our kids safe and for not allowing misguided community members to bully you into submission. It is a hard lesson to learn that whining isn't how we get our way, but we can do hard things especially when it's for the kids.

The board heard from several members of the public, most of them in support of the mandate. However, some spoke in opposition, saying masks harm children or are ineffective.

Masking my child is a medical decisions that belongs to me his mother not a bunch of pompous windblowers who bow to the teachers union and try to control others by fear!!!

We have to commute to work, approximately 70 miles every day. We fill up once a week, and the cost has risen from an average of $36.50 before the Iran war, to now $55.00 each week. We now have to budget more for gas than we did. And there is still nothing to show for any of this pointless conflic

Max

So, you support Iran? Well, I support America.

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

You need a more fuel-efficient car.

While no one enjoys paying more $ gas is cheap for what you get.

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

Max

Trump had just refilled it, after Obama drained it down to nothing.

Steve Baumann

Far bigger issues than fuel prices

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.

Fred

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

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Zaos Gonzolez

Your own safety is your own responsibility.
