I grew up around Northeast Kansas City, so I'm use to it. I do believe Auto/simi- auto should be banned from the public, and back ground checks should be more extensive, and people with mental issues shouldn't have access to any guns. But don't try to repeal the 2nd Admin. cause that will cause war.

I can understand if you live in Columbia, that you would say yes. They have shootings nearly every night. I doubt that these firearms were legally acquired, and I doubt that the shooters belong to the NRA. And I know these shooting are not being done by Conservatives.

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

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

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.

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.
