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.

With his biases, he should not be using his position to meddle in gov on his own behalf. He's looking after no one but himself.

Max DeYoung

Both of Steve's comments are true and accurate.

Steve Baumann

I totally disagree, he needs nothing and was only working to help the majority. The waste uncovered is excessive, no one can argue that.

Fred

He's an absolute nutcase. And an immigrant from South Africa, who grew up under apartheid, with no security clearance, has any business ransacking our government, accessing private data or having any influence of government departments investigating his businesses.

Steve Baumann

He's also brilliant, accomplished and worked for us, the Americans, for free.

Has anyone triedmore MAGA??? We need more MAGA!

Steve Baumann

While I understand he had limited time, I feel more time would have benefited the country. That being said, I am grateful for the time he gave and the job he did. I look forward to seeing the results in the near future.

Max DeYoung

I hope he trained the people he left behind. He did an amazing job in only 130 days.

He has uncovered so much waste and corruption in the US Government. I only wish congress acted on what he found!

Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

Bill Douglas

The rest of the state is paying $200M for all the new stuff being built at UM football stadium in Columbia MO. No care about that???

Max DeYoung

I don't even like Taylor Swift.

Eric Smith

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.

Zaos Gonzolez

I want the teams to leave.

Bill Douglas

But let’s keep UM football in Columbia and $200 Million for new luxury suites, that’s worth it, right???!!!

Robert

How is this any different then if I ask for public funding to build on to my house?
