The royals do not earn their money, I guess in a way they do from their subjects they don't rule AND I really don't see them serving helping their people at all because they are subjects

Larry Ewart

As stated previously, its all about the money that is brought in to the coffers.

Mary K

What is the point? They rule or serve? What is it they provide to people? They get to be in this position and maintain such wealth because they were born into it? I think it's ridiculous.

The UK will preserve the royal family to keep the tourists coming. They make a ton of money from tourism.

Christopher Watson

They don't hold any real power anymore, so it's all just a waist of time and space.

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

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Harry D

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.
