While many in the US are getting vaccinated, there are still plenty of people who believe psychopaths currently enjoying the wake of chaos they stir with lies and conspiracy theories. Sadly, these sheeple have little understanding of science; it's indiscernible from magic, or some voodoo curse.

Despite the growing presence of the delta variant, cases and deaths from coronavirus remain far lower than they were at the height of the pandemic.

The Border Crisis, Crime, Inflation, Fuel costs including utilities, and the failing current administration are far more of a concern to me, among other things.

Steve TheBmann

I'm not concerned by this one, the earlier one, or all of those to follow. There are bigger concerns in the world right now and this seems to be more smoke and mirrors.

Adam Schrader

Not worried at all. I'm not a moron. I'm fully vaccinated. Wake up people!!!! Get vaccinated already. Do your part.

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.
