There should be no pay increases until drag shows and CRT are abolished.

Max DeYoung

Adam, your way applies to both sides of the argument.

Vernon Taylor

Couldn't agree more.

Adam

Keeping them safe and telling them that your way is best are different things. Only teaches them to keep blinders on to the world around them.

Max DeYoung

Thank you Will, but at least I care about the health and safety of the children.

Will

Incredibly small minded of you.

This state just put a temporary band-aid on teacher pay that only affects first year teachers. There is no cola raise or state- wide permanent raise for all educators. Missouri is still in the bottom 10 states in the US for pay and nothing permanent is being done.

Felisha

I had no idea MO was in the bottom for teacher pay. I do know they are in the bottom for socialworkers and community based support workers.

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.
