How rare it is to see government wanting to return the peoples' money, instead of trying to hang on to all the money and power they can. Go Gov. Parson!

Vernon Taylor

The House Minority Leader apparently feels that a senior making $20,000, or a single mother of two making $35,000 is wealthy. This is the thought process of the Democrat Party.

Excess money from tax revenue is a clear indicator that taxes are excessive and should be returned to the people that paid those taxes, not to people with their hands out.

Adam

How about using that money for our schools? Make them safer with metal detectors? Pay our teachers more? More supplies so teachers don't have to spend their own money on it?

Jack L

Let`s spend some of that money on school security, which we all agree we need.

Adam

I don't mind paying taxes at the rate we have now as long as our elected officials can find a way to use it wisely

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

Max

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.

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.
