Its about time we stopped selling assault rifles. Need tighter gun control!

Max DeYoung

There is no such thing as an assault rifle. That is a phony term, created by people, that are intent upon removing our Constitution Rights. Rifles, and other weapons like knives, axes, and even vehicles do not arbitrarily attack people. Sick people attack people. Please educate yourself.

Stricter gun laws have run into fierce opposition from conservative politicians and organizations such as the NRA.

There are plenty of laws. The laws that we have need to be enforced. That goes for all laws, and all crimes. More laws, are not a solution. Just how hard is this to understand?

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.
