The federal reserve is in opposition to the growth of America.

Tariffs on foreign countries built America. Study history, and examine what the first president accomplished with them. Sadly, that history is not taught, mainly because of the soon to be dismantled department of education, and the deranged Trump hating media only wants their narrative heard.

Public education has turned Current Events into Current Socialism.

Employers and investors have been incentivized for 35 years to move jobs and investment overseas. Glad to see them coming back to the USA.

Trump and Musk have no desire to help the people of the United States. They want only to help themselves even if it is at our expense.

Zaos Gonzolez

Actually, and factually, both Trump and Musk and the single most qualified persons on the planet to handle this. There are no other more qualified individuals.

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.
