This is what it looks like when you put lipstick on a pig. Pretty, but not of value. How about on-ramps and exits to allow travel from I-70 to 63 (and back) without going through stop lights?

JIC CoMo

If some people would learn how to obey the traffic laws, this intersection would not be bad at all.

Mark Evaniak

I went to the info meeting last night and was disappointed that in less you had on a collar or jacket, no one would talk to you. The proposal looks to fix some of the afternoon traffic, but doesn't address the 8AM traffic I see every day

Monica Luetkemeyer

The city is wasting money on making an interchange "look nice". Put in a round-a-bout and be done with it.

Monica Luetkemeyer

City is spending too much money, as usual, on making it "look nice". It's an interchange: use a round-a-bout, get rid of the lights,

Adam

Do you even know how big an intersection this is??? Lol A roundabout would never work. But that enormous intersection needs something done. I avoid it at all costs

While that intersection is terrible, I have been watching the garbage they are actually installing at AA/OO in Holts Summit...If people can't handle a 3 way stop sign, how is a roundabout going to help? Can't fix the fact that people don't know how to yield, are on phones. No real logic to it.

Amanda Jane Ebbert

They haven't publicized it in an easily accessible way to the people it effects

Jared Walker

I get too emotionally involved in things I have no say over. When they spent thousands in tax payer dollars to remove the memorials from the court house lawn or make us buy trash bags from them instead of opting for roll carts. The city will do as they please. We are just along for the drive.

Will Mason

It seems like with 94% answering no that our local news programs would get right on informing folks. But no. You haven't. At least not enough to notice.

Jenny Lynn

No I don't know what is being proposed but I think it's a beautiful exit, not everyone needs mass commercial industry and fast food. I prefer that area.

Education for children is based on scheduling?

Latria Mcneal

I think it would make kids more willingly to attend 5 day work week is a lot on a working person as is the kids should get a extra day

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

Max

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....

Income tax is unconstitutional when all other taxes are placed on top of it.

Shawn Maupin

Because I believe taxation is theft!

Dennis Ganahl

It's time to position Missouri for growth. We need to attract business and population growth not more stagnation. Taxes need to be affordable based on what people can pay, not what government wants to spend. Government needs to budget just like families.

Slate Rogers

I am in favor of a state income tax cap of 3 percent and eliminating the personal property tax completely.

C Sims

I support doing away with all taxes

Max

The harder that people work, the more taxes they pay. That's wrong. The people that won't work should pay the most taxes.

Debbie A.

It is unconstitutional and theft

Bob Mahacek

We need to streamline government, make it more efficient and have lower taxes to attract more residents as well as businesses to the state.

Mike Roemerman

This is the #1 tax cut that will help Grow Missouri. Eliminating State Income Tax will attract Business, Create Jobs and increase our population. This also exclusively benefits Missourians.

Nancy Hooyman

I'm 70 and it takes too much money away from me.

Pam Ames

The citizens of Missouri are taxed enough, we deserve to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor.Next stop should be phasing out personal property taxes, sales tax, etc, etc…

Bill Douglas

Ban state employees from attending professional and college sports events. Also ban state employees from displaying college/university personalized license plates on their vehicles.

Max

If phasing out taxes, phases out Socialism, then it's a great idea.

We eliminated capital gains tax last year and now our target is income tax? I feel we should get more productive spending and figure out the position of our tax burden before we think about eliminating income tax. It feels like Gov. Kehoe is using this as political points.

Steve Baumann

We all need to be paying our fair share. There are other questionable taxes to be looked into and removed. Along with tax cuts, cuts to the bureaucracy as well.

nathaniel bock

The tax we need to eliminate or change is personal property tax on vehicles, tractors, trailers, etc. There should be no taxes paid on anything an individual has owned longer than ten years.

Will Mason

Sales taxes are paid by the poor. Income taxes favor the poor. Unless a refund of sales taxes is an option, income taxes are cheaper for low income people. And a sales tax refund is probably just as complex as filing income taxes. Either way the government is getting our money.

Hayden Hamlin

Missouri barely pays for WIC, SNAP, Healthcare, and education as is. The Trump Admin passed a bill that will cancel more funding to states for these. Who's going to replace the main source of revenue? The billionaire class? Absolutely not. Our state only offers cheap living; this will raise prices.

Max

Socialism is not the solution.

Max

Maybe some people should put more effort into working for a living?
